Disney’s Beauty And The Beast

Thursday 27 – Saturday 29 Mar | 7.30pm / 2pm Matinee (Sat only) | £16
 
Following their incredible run of ‘The Wizard of Oz’, Building Bridges Community Arts Theatre returns with a timeless classic, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, featuring the songs and characters from the Disney movie we all know and love. 
 
In this enchanting tale, a selfish prince is transformed into a fearsome beast by a vengeful enchantress. To break the curse, he must find true love before the last petal falls from an enchanted rose or be doomed to spend life as a beast forever. When Belle, a headstrong young woman, stumbles upon the beast’s castle, she encounters a host of unforgettable characters and a chance to lift the spell. But can Belle see beyond the beast’s terrifying exterior? Will she choose to love him, or will she condemn the castle and its inhabitants to a life of despair? For who could ever learn to love a beast? 
 
Presented by one of Northern Ireland’s leading amateur theatre groups. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International. All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI www.mtishows.co.uk
