Star of Jack and The Beanstalk, TV legend Steve McFadden (EastEnders), with the rest of the cast went along to the Crawley theatre earlier this month to launch the pantomime, which runs from Friday 13 December to Sunday 5 January.

He will be joining Crawley legend Michael J Batchelor who returns for his 11th year as Crawley’s favourite dame! Completing the Jack and the Beanstalk cast are the hilarious Joey Wilby, Erin Armstrong (Lena), Joe Gash (Rock of Ages, Grease), and Annell Odartey (Pretty Woman, Mamma Mia).

Steve McFadden is famous for his role as Phil Mitchell in Britain’s top soap, EastEnders (BBC), which he has played for 34 years. He has led numerous high-profile storylines to great acclaim. Steve performed in The Hawth’s pantomime in 2015/16 and returns in the same role as Fleshcreep - the Giant’s henchman, this year to the delight of audiences who are booking fast for the chance to see him again.
