| Beauty and The Beast by Stuart Ardern |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 2. Minimum Female roles = 2. Minimum total with doubling = 17. Minimum total without doubling = 24. Chorus. The usual pantomime ambiguity - Belle and the witch are definitely female. The Beast and the Merchant definitely male. Mrs. Bustle could be female or male (a pantomime dame), the prince is probably a 'principal boy' (played by a girl). |
| Run Time | Around 120 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | Sheet music for 11 original songs (counting two reprises) supplied with the Producer's Copy of the script. |
| Style | English pantomime - puns, slapstick, visual jokes, songs. (It should be stressed that this is pantomime and not the Disney version of the story!) |
| Synopsis | The arrogant prince is turned into The Beast by a scheming witch. He can only redeem himself if someone loves him for what he is. Into the Beast's castle comes a hapless merchant, father of the beautiful Belle. The merchant incurs the Beast's wrath, but when it is time for him to return to face justice from the Beast, Belle returns in his place. |

A chance encounter with a rich and handsome prince looking, as handsome princes do, for true love, provides him with a chance of salvation. All that is needed is for Joshua's youngest and sweetest daughter, Belle, to fall for the prince. Unfortunately this prince has fallen foul of a witch who has turned him into a hideous beast. Can Belle's sweet disposition persuade her to ignore the prince's appearance and can the prince be restored to his former handsome self? As it all ends, as tradition demands, happily ever after, then the answer to both questions must be 'yes'. |
