Beauty and the Beast

Every year thousands of families make the Belgrade Theatre’s legendary panto an essential part of their Christmas celebrations. This year’s enchanting tale of heroic adventure, true love, messy mayhem and lots of festive frivolity is destined to be the most beautiful and beastly yet.

Could anyone ever love such a beast and unlock the cruel spell?
Spectacular costumes, wonderful sets and loads of laughs bring this enchanting tale to life. You can’t possibly miss Coventry favourite, Andy Hockley, as the glamorous Dame Dorothy-Do-It, whizzing around on her turbo-charged Hoover!
