Jack and the Beanstalk at the Marlowe
West End star and pop icon, Duncan James will be joining Strictly Come Dancing’s Joanne Clifton and local favourite Ben Roddy in this year’s Marlowe Theatre pantomime in Canterbury, Jack and the Beanstalk.
Duncan James will be known to many as a member of Blue, one the UK’s most successful boybands. He is also a hugely successful West End star, performing in hit shows such as Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Rocky Horror Show, Chicago and Legally Blonde.
Joanne is best-known for her time on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing. She went on to win the glitterball trophy as the 2016 champion with Ore Oduba. She has been a regular on stage including the tours of The Rocky Horror Show, Flashdance and Top Hat.
Joining them will be Milkshake! favourite Nathan Connor as Billy, West End performer Bobbie Chambers as the Princess, and returning to The Marlowe following his incredible performance as the baddie in Mother Goose will be Marc Pickering (Boardwalk Empire, Sleepy Hollow) as Fleshcreep.
Once again, the show will be written and directed by Paul Hendy and The Marlowe will be co-producing with Evolution, the same team behind the Box Office smash-hit Mother Goose.
Jack and the Beanstalk is on from Friday 26 November to Sunday 9 January. Please check the website for the full schedule of performances that Duncan and Joanne will be appearing in.
