This charming musical version of Benjamin Tabart's classic English folk tale, "The History of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean" will surely delight your audience. The giant is making life pretty miserable for Jack, his mother and the entire kingdom. Jack is even forced to sell his beloved dancing cow for magic beans. And where does Jack go? That's right! Jack goes up the beanstalk and into the castle where he not only fights Gogmagog, the giant, but the malicious Troll as well.
By the end of this special tale, the cow is returned, the chicken learns how to lay golden eggs and the good life returns to the kingdom. This show is spiced with a variety of tunes like "Good Things are Bound to Happen," the Giant's "Fee Fi Fo Fum" or the company's toe-tapping "Run, Jack, Run," that will have adults and children alike humming.
"The show was great! It certainly was a team effort and it showed! Thanks for the enjoyable evening." -- Ann M., Bellevue, KY.
"We thoroughly enjoyed the music, dancing and story! I am sure that all the children had a great time and especially loved getting
autographs from the cast. We look forward to attending the matinee performance this Saturday with some of our favorite little ones."
-- Connie and Dave B., Edgewood, KY.
"We loved the characters. As adults, we enjoyed the singing and dancing. But the greatest fun was watching the kids around us get so
caught up in the story!" -- Gene and Debby B., Anderson Twp, OH
"Anderson Township has some very fine talent in this show. You guys are great. My grandchild loved the play! I will be back and bring
my Dad. He too will love this show." -- Sandy P., Anderson Twp, OH
