Life’s a drag for Jack and his poor mother Widow Neo – the cupboard is bare, there are bills to pay and the loan sharks are circling. With the writing literally on the void-deck walls, they finally resort to selling Ah Kow, their beloved pet cow. But when Jack only gets a handful of green beans instead of cold hard cash for their pet, disaster looms…
That is, until a gigantic bean-sprout springs up in Marina Bay! It reaches high up beyond the clouds, to a mystical land where a man-eating Giant is rumoured to live! Desperate, Jack climbs up the taugeh – to discover danger, adventure and the stirrings of first love.
W!LD RICE proudly presents, Jack & the Bean-Sprout! a brand new musical-comedy pantomime about dreams, a mother’s love, and the perils of gambling. With side-splitting gags, catchy songs, snazzy dance routines, outrageous costumes, fabulous sets and rowdy audience participation, Jack & the Bean-Sprout! promises to catapult you to Cloud Nine for the holiday season and keep you laughing well into the New Year!
