ABOUT THE SHOW
KW Productions invites you to 'Be Our Guest' as we transport you into the enchanted world of Broadway's classic, Disney's Beauty and the Beast – the newly revised West End production based on the Academy Award-winning animated film.
This classic and sweepingly romantic fairytale tells of Belle, a spirited and headstrong young woman living in a judgemental provincial town. An arrogant prince and his castle's servants fall under the spell of a wicked enchantress, who turns him into a hideous Beast. Time is running out to break the curse - if the Beast does not learn to love and be loved, him and his enchanted household will be doomed for all eternity.
This "tale as old as time" will be filled with spectacular costumes, magic, a sterling cast and a host of spellbinding songs including 'Belle', 'Gaston', 'Be Our Guest', 'Something There' and of course; 'Beauty and The Beast' – the perfect family entertainment for all ages! Don’t believe me? Ask the dishes!
