Beauty and the Beast at Sunderland Empire

Why see Beauty and the Beast?

A real beaut of a panto!

Be our guest! Dame Maureen Lipman is back in Richmond, stepping into the role of Mrs. Potty, alongside the hilarious Pete Firman as Silly Billy in this magical spin on Beauty and the Beast. Get ready for laughs, a little chaos, and a whole lot of heart as we follow Belle, the Beast and some very chatty household objects. This panto is set to be a beast of a show that'll have everyone grinning from ear to ear!

Longing for something more, Belle unexpectedly finds herself in a cursed castle, held captive by a fearsome Beast. But all is not as it seems. The castle is home to an array of magical characters, enchanted by a wicked spell. As Belle gets to know the Beast, she begins to wonder - can she look beyond his frightening exterior and fall in love before the final petal drops from the enchanted rose? Or will the Beast's stubbornness doom him to lose not just his world, but the girl who has started to melt his heart?

Came today with my granddaughter after enjoying the pants here last year, but WOW this years was absolutely fantastic and 100% better all round from staging, lighting, story telling, cast all of them from main characters to young company.
