The canniest panto in all the land has been given a beastly makeover, with a sparkling cast that’ll make you say ooh la la with excitement! From screen to stage, North East actress & star of Emmerdale ^ Ackley Bridge, Charlie Hardwick is set to sprinkle festive fairy dust over this year’s pantomime spectacular in the role of Fairy Bon Bon, alongside Channel 5’s Milkshake! children’s TV favourite Olivia Birchenough as kind-hearted, bookworm Belle. Join Belle, The Beast, Fairy Bon Bon, Rorina La Plonk and her cheeky chappy son Louis La Plonk, alongside a whole host of larger than life characters, as they are transported to a cursed castle under the spell of an evil enchantress. Can the arrogant Hugo be defeated? Can Belle see beyond the Beast and fall in love with her captor? Will the Beast’s heart be melted by Belle’s beauty? Tickets from £13.00.
