Panto: Beauty and The Beast at Billingham's Forum Theatre


It is a tale as old as time - but that doesn’t stop audiences loving it.


Beauty and The Beast comes to Billingham’s Forum Theatre tomorrow to sprinkle some half term magic for theatre goers on Teesside.


Starring Gems TV’s Fiona Egan as evil assistant Snivel and Scott Worsfold as Dame Polly Potts the musical comedy promises everything from madcap fun to a fairytale ending in a run that lasts until Sunday.


When an enchantress and her evil assistant curse a vain and conceited Prince, he is turned into an ugly beast and confined to his castle in the woods.


The panto also stars Scott Worsfold as Dame Polly Potts, Andy Steed as J'Espere and dancers from the Karen Heritage Dance Academy in Stockton The panto also stars Scott Worsfold as Dame Polly Potts, Andy Steed as J'Espere and dancers from the Karen Heritage Dance Academy in Stockton


The spell can only be broken with love’s true kiss and a magic rose is his only opportunity to return back to his natural self - can he find someone to fall in love with him before it loses all its petals and dies? Enter Beauty, who might just be the very girl.


Expect mischief and mayhem from the PMA Productions show as they re-tell the classic tale with madcap characters.


The team brought the successful The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to Billingham last February half term. This year’s cast also includes dancers from Stockton’s Karen Heritage Dance Studio.
