A fresh take on Beauty & the Beast at Leeds Grand Theatre
Famed for our unique retellings, it may come as no surprise that our adaptation of Beauty & the Beast, created by David Nixon CBE is a little different. Showing at Leeds Grand Theatre next week, here’s a glimpse of what makes our production sparkle.
Goblins Run Amok!
Beast's castle will hold more than a few surprises for both you and the unsuspecting Beauty. Goblin servants prowl the grounds, but don't be scared — they're more mischievous than menacing. Be sure to look out for their new masks and headpieces created by our in-house team.
Climbing the Property Ladder
Need some inspiration for your next DIY project? Have you considered building your home out of a climbing frame? When you see Beast defying gravity by clinging to the walls of his castle, that's because our clever tech team managed to create his frightening lair out of a children's climbing frame!
An Unexpected Sibling Rivalry
Beauty and her sisters aren't the only siblings at odds in our retelling. Instead of working together, the two fairy sisters, La Fée Luminaire and La Fée Magnifique, both try to teach the Prince a lesson in their own special way.
Will the Curse Be Lifted?
With all these differences, will the characters still get to live happily ever after? Don't worry, if there's one thing we know how to deliver, it's a fairytale ending as Beauty and the Beast find true love.
