With less than a week to go until opening night, rehearsals for Southampton's giant pantomime are in full swing. Mayflower Theatre's pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, will once again be the biggest pantomime on the South Coast and stars of the stage are busy perfecting their parts. It will see Britain’s Got Talent winners and street dance sensations Ashley Banjo and Diversity return to lead the cast as Jack and the Trot Family alongside award-winning actor and stand-up comedian Kev Orkian as the comical Silly Simon.
