| 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. |
