Anon

An enchanted castle where nothing is quite as it seems, a girl fulfils a terrible promise, and echoes abound of the beast within…

“Beauty and the Beast” is a classic tale of magical transformation and the power of true love. Proteus has created a brand new version for anyone aged 5 and upwards that takes you to the heart of this classic tale. Beautiful, exciting, funny and heartwarming, ‘Beauty and the Beast' continues proteus ' innovative approach to creating family shows, mixing multi-media, music and circus techniques, an approach seen in their previous sell-out tour of ‘Peter Pan'.
