Beauty and the Beast | Lyric

Join us for a heart-warming tale-as-old-as time this Christmas where love conquers all!

When a prince is cursed to live his life as a fearsome beast, his only hope of escaping this fate is to find true love. When Beauty comes into his life, could this be the chance he has been waiting for? Will Beauty see him as more than a monster? Can the beast learn to love again before the last petal falls from the magic rose?

With colourful characters, spectacular sets and jaw-dropping costumes, Beauty and the Beast is a fun-filled pantomime adventure that the whole family will enjoy.

Following on from the success of Jack and the Beanstalk, Theatrau Sir Gâr are delighted to be supported by Imagine Theatre once again this year as they present Beauty and the Beast as the Lyric’s Christmas pantomime for 2024.
