Will Young to make panto debut in JACK AND THE BEANSTALK at Bristol Hippodrome
Bristol Hippodrome and Crossroads Pantomimes have announced that pop icon and stage star Will Young will make his pantomime debut this Christmas, starring as The Spirit of the Beans in Jack and the Beanstalk at the Bristol venue from 6 December 2025-4 January 2026.
Will Young said: "Some huge news today, I’m so excited to announce that I will be starring in my first ever panto this Christmas! Someone said to me that pantomime is often the first experience we have of live performance and the arts and they are so right. The first panto I saw was Cilla Black in Dick Whittington, and having gone regularly to the Bristol panto I’m so thrilled to be joining the production this year! Christmas is the most magical time and I'm proud to be a part of that wonderful tradition of pantomime, especially in Bristol which puts on the BEST show. See you in December with leggings, sparkles aplenty, Christmas cheer and laughs. We will make the whole thing EVERGREEN!!"
Chief Executive of Crossroads Pantomimes, Michael Harrison, said: "I am absolutely delighted that Will is going to be leading our Bristol Hippodrome panto this Christmas. Will is an extraordinary talent with a remarkable career in music, theatre, and entertainment, and we know he will bring something truly special to the role of Spirit of the Beans. We can’t wait for audiences to see him in action this Christmas."
Further casting will be announced later in the year.
