GET
READY FOR A REAL BEAUTY OF A PANTO!
The count-down has begun!
There’s only a few weeks to go until Newcastle Theatre Royal opens its
spellbinding panto – Beauty and the Beast
- which will run for a magical eight
weeks (Tue 26 Nov 2019 – Sat 19 Jan 2020).
One
of the most romantic pantos of all time Beauty and the Beast will be a spectacular and
enchanting production for all the family, featuring the legendary trio of
Theatre Royal panto stars Danny Adams, Clive Webb and Chris
Hayward.
A lavish
adventure is once again in store for all as the beautiful Belle embarks on her
quest to unleash the Beauty within the Beast. Audiences can expect an
action-packed show bursting with magic, music and plenty of comedy mayhem!
Produced by Qdos
Entertainment, the world’s biggest pantomime producer, Beauty and the Beast promises everything that Theatre Royal
audiences have come to expect, and more.
Spectacular choreography, glittering sets, breath-taking special effects
and a wonderful musical score form the backdrop to a tale full of adventure and
hilarious slap-stick.
Theatre Royal pantomimes are widely thought to be
among the best in the UK due to the exceptional combination of father and son
team Clive and Danny - for whom Beauty
and the Beast will mark their fifteenth consecutive Theatre Royal panto
appearance. This combination is brought
together by Newcastle’s own Michael Harrison (The Bodyguard, Annie), who
co-writes, produces and directs the show.
The
cast for Beauty and the Beast also includes the sensational musical
performers Laura Evans and Wayne Smith, who have shone in the last three
Theatre Royal pantos, Mick Potts from CBBC’s Danny & Mick (reprising
his role as The Idiot) and Steve Arnott who last year celebrated 10
years as the Theatre Royal panto villain.
Theatre
Royal Chief Executive Philip Bernays said: “This year’s production promises to be another
spectacular show with a staggering 78,000 tickets sold with a few weeks to go
to opening night. We are so very proud
of our pantomimes, but never wish to rest on our laurels. This is a competitive industry and we need to
make sure that we are at the top of our game every single year.
“It’s
thanks to a superb cast, incredible staging, expert behind-the-scenes team and
the talent of top West End producer Michael Harrison that we can keep
delivering what is considered not only the biggest panto in the region but one
of the best festive spectaculars anywhere in the country.”
