The kids will love this brand new version of Beauty & the Beast, which sticks firmly to the original fairy story, while at the same time introducing plenty of fresh and original ideas. The comedy routines include the funniest game of musical chairs you’ve ever seen, a trip to the countryside on Space Hoppers and Dame Peekaboo and her gardening friends tackling a bunch of pesky moles with water pistols. Plus, good and bad fairies, ugly sisters (showing up in the wrong panto) and a cheeky talking sheep called Lampard.
