CHRISTMAS is always a magical time of year, not least in Fife’s theatres.

This year is no different, as they bring you two wondrous shows which are sure to delight the whole family – Jack and the Beanstalk, which comes to Adam Smith Theatre from 9th December to 10th January, and Snow White, running at Carnegie Hall from 28th November to the 24th December.

Christmas in Kirkcaldy, of course, goes hand in hand with Fife’s Queen of Panto, the one and only Billy Mack! Returning in an incredible 9th appearance, the panto dame will this year bring the loveable and hilarious character of Dame Tammy Shanter to life in a new twist on the classic Jack and the Beanstalk at Adam Smith Theatre. With dollops of Dickens, a sprinkle of Poppins, a morsel of Oliver and a dash of My Fair Lady, this is Jack as you’ve never seen him before… In true Adam Smith style, there will be spectacular costumes, music and magic – as well as a few surprises! Jack and the Beanstalk promises to be a hoot! Join in for a truly amazing adventure between Tuesday 9th December and Saturday 10th January, filled with drama, romance and a barrel full of laughs!

Over at Carnegie Hall, the team that brought you the wonderful Hansel and Gretel and Pinocchio are back with one of the world’s most famous fairy tales, Snow White, presented in partnership with Müller Wiseman Dairies.

Snow White stars Tyler Collins, who was absolutely fantastic as Eduardo the Fox in Pinocchio, and Lauren Grant, who you may remember from a wonderful performance as Amelie in 2012’s Sleeping Beauty, as Snow White. There is also a welcome return for River City’s Pamela Byrne (pictured), a star turn in both Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty. Running from Friday 28th November to Wednesday 24th December, this magical musical adventure at Carnegie Hall will be fabulous festive fun for the whole family, full of marvellous music and cracking comedy!

At outstanding value, with tickets from as little as £10.50, go along and join in this festive feast of entertainment. Adults and children alike will be singing, shouting and laughing out loud to these feel-good and fun family shows!
