After months of anticipation, the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch has announced it will be staging Beauty and the Beast as this year’s pantomime. Audiences are invited to join in the fun as their favourite fairytale comes to life in a magical, action-packed panto for the whole family. It will run at the Queen’s Theatre from 30 November – 7 January. The Queen’s Theatre is committed to ensuring everyone can enjoy the pleasure of live performance and has confirmed it will be providing two specially adapted shows for their charming production of Beauty and the Beast. Tickets to a Relaxed Performance (Tuesday 2 January) and a Dementia-Friendly Performance (Wednesday 3 January) are available to purchase alongside the theatre’s regular Signed and Audio-Described performances. Tickets range from £12.50 to £29 and are on sale now. The theatre is offering its loyal customers a 10% off ‘Early Bird’ discount if they book before 15 April (T&Cs apply). From the team that created the 2016 box office smash-hit spectacular Cinderella, it’s going to be the best Christmas extravaganza in town! In a land far away, lived a bright and beautiful young woman. Her life becomes in danger when she is taken prisoner by a hideous Beast in his castle. Will she escape? Will the Beast be able to find true love and break his terrible curse? Beauty and the Beast has it all – sparkling sets, colourful costumes, tunes that everyone knows, lots of laughter and most importantly plenty of audience participation. The whole family will enjoy booing the baddie, cheering the hero and laughing along with the hilarious Dame.
