An old castle, an enchanted forest, and a true story of love!…it could only be Beauty and the Beast! The Panto Company brings the beloved musical to life with Dame Dotty Potty, Loopy Louie, Gaston, Belle, and the Beast. As Belle is held captive in the castle, families will love finding out if she falls in love with the Beast before the spell finally consumes him. Will the Beast’s selfishness cost him the world he once knew and the hand of the beauty that has captured his heart?
