Win a tickets to BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
Stafford Gatehouse Theatre in Staffordshire is preparing for its biggest-selling pantomime EVER with sales for BEAUTY AND THE BEAST setting new records.
After two previous record-breaking runs with Snow White and Cinderella over the past two years, the Eastgate Street Venue is now set to smash the 18,000-ticket mark for the very first time.
The production is packed with songs, dance and terrible puns, the show stars CBBC legend Mark Rhodes (of Sam and Mark Pop Idol fame), award-winning Dame David Phipps-Davis and Welsh star Celyn Cartwright in the role of Beauty. The laugh-a-minute show also sees the return of THEO THE MOUSE, who had audiences ‘on the floor’ with laughter at the Gatehouse in Snow White. The show also features local dancers, as well as Wendy Abrahams and handsome panto frontman Neil Moors as Benedict Bourbon.
The story centres around an arrogant Prince who is cursed to live as a beast, his only hope for salvation is to find true love before the last petal falls from a magic rose. Will he succeed? Will they all live happily ever after? Will Theo behave himself? What do YOU think?!
