When her father is imprisoned in a mysterious castle, Belle's attempt to rescue him leads to her capture by the Beast; a grisly and fearsome monster who may only become human again if he learns to love and be loved in return.

Set to a stunning classical score, this production will showcase new choreography by artistic director Christopher Moore, as well as feature new sets and costumes created especially for this production.

Tickets are priced at £24.
