Beauty And The Beast

Stageworks Worldwide Productions will return to King George’s Hall in December 2017 for their take on the classic tale – Beauty and the Beast. True to panto form, there will be brilliant goodies and baddies, singing, dancing, acrobatics, and plenty of magic.

This tale as old as time beings in a far off land of two kingdoms, the good and rich kingdom, and the evil and penniless kingdom. To keep the peace, the two Kings made a pact, the son of the good King and the daughter of the evil King would be betrothed in marriage.

The day arrived when both Prince Valiant and Queen Evangeline became of age to marry. The Prince had no intention of marrying this evil woman. Evangeline had waited for many years for the wealth of his Kingdom so she could become all powerful over both Kingdoms, and would not take no for an answer. Out of spite she cursed him and turned him into an ugly beast. The curse could only be lifted if true love could bestow this ugly beast, and if not the beast would die when the last petal of the rose falls.

With the help of Bertha the Queen of Fairies, and her apprentice fairy Awesome they plan to encourage Belle the most beautiful girl in both Kingdoms to visit the Beast in the hope that true love would prevail and the curse could be lifted.

Evangeline continues to stop anything and anyone who will help the Beast to be freed from the curse, only she can do that, she still wants him to change his mind and marry her. Evangeline hasn’t realised the love and support of Belle’s father Monsieur Ding Dong, companion of Gaston, and new best friend Lumiere, all of whom go out of their way to make sure of a happy ending.
