Beauty and the Beast - Halifax 2019

Box Office
01422 351158


This year’s ‘beauty’ of a panto at The Victoria Theatre in Halifax is Beauty and the Beast.

A conceited Prince gets cursed and spends 500 years trapped in a castle as a Beast. The arrival of a beautiful, intelligent and feisty young woman offers the possibility of the curse being lifted, but she can learn to see beyond appearances and learn to love a Beast?

The show runs from Saturday 14 December 2019 until Sunday 5 January 2020

Reviews

“If you are after a traditional Pantomime with slapstick humour, up to date songs that kids know and love along with a show that sticks to the storyline rather than deviate to let some big star do his bit, then this is the one for you.”
— The Yorkshire Times
“Beauty & the Beast is exactly what a panto should be – good clean fun, with plenty of opportunities to practice your “oh no he didn’t” and “he’s behind you” skills, with lots and lots of laughs”
— Calderdale Mumbler

“This stunning family-friendly show moves along at a good pace, never sagging, it’s just delightful fun.

Cinderella is fabulous festive fun for all ages, the jokes will get you laughing, and the songs will get you clapping: You won’t want the magic to end. Book a ticket, you’ll have a ball.”
— Phil Creighton - The Wokingham Paper
“If you haven’t been to the panto before think slap stick humour, full on glitz, great music and dancing, audience participation, and some cheeky jokes thrown in for the adults. Reading’s Cinderella has that all in spades. You’ll be tapping your toes, shoulder dancing and singing your way through the show with a great set of songs and energetic performances all round.”

“Imagine Theatre’s production is another triumph for the panto-makers, returning to Inverness for another year of festive frolics, as they find an adroit balance between the story’s romantic, fantastical core and the cream-throwing, pun-slinging, villain-booing trappings of the medium.”
— Kyle Walker - What's on North
“My ears are still ringing from the noise of the screams which came from the excited youngsters in the audience, but that noise is music to the cast of Beauty and the Beast.
The louder they scream, the more they know they’ve got the script right
