Beauty & the Beast family pantomime
Victoria Theatre, Halifax
Friday 12 December – Sunday 4 January
Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a fun-filled Christmas panto! Make memories with all the family with this panto spectacular, where an arrogant prince is cursed to live as a beast – and must rely on finding love before the last petal falls from an enchanted rose. Can a local village girl see past his appearance, and learn to love a beast? With hilarious slapstick comedy, plenty of audience interaction and magical musical numbers, this traditional pantomime is a must-see. There are also special integrated signed performances on offer for people who would benefit from British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation – where the interpreters get involved in the onstage action! – and ‘relaxed’ performances for people who may sometimes find it difficult to access theatre performances – like parents or carers with noisy infants, or those with dementia, autism, or any other complex access or inclusion needs.
