About the Show
In this adaptation of the traditional tale, Beauty and the Beast tells the story of a Prince transformed into a Beast, and his eventual redemption through the love of a girl called Belle.
Our panto version begins with the vain Prince George refusing the amorous advances of an older woman, who is actually a witch. In revenge, she turns him into a horrible beast, and his servants into household objects. Doomed to die tormented and alone, his only hope is if somebody falls in love with him before the last petal on an enchanted rose falls.
The Lovelace's production contains everything you would expect to find in a traditional panto. A classic love story, pathos, comedy and of course, a happy ending.
