A magical beast of a panto, Beauty and the Beast is from the same team that brought Dick Whittington to the stage last Christmas.

Directed by Helen Crosse, it will star Welwyn Garden City’s favourite Dame, Michael Totton.

Filled with music, mayhem, love and laughter, this year’s festive treat is sure to warm your hearts and make your spirits soar.

Public performances run from Saturday, December 9 until Sunday, December 31 at the CW Entertainment venue in The Campus.

School performances run from Friday, December 8 until Friday, December 15.

Tickets are now on sale from the theatre’s box office and online at www.cwentertainment.co.uk

Standard tickets – for all public shows from December 9 to December 21 – cost £18, and £16 concessions.

Premium tickets – for all public shows from December 22 to December 31 – cost £20 standard, and £18 concessions.
