Beauty and The Beast, Empire Theatre

The most enchanting pantomime of all time, Beauty & The Beast, comes to Sunderland with a sparkling fairy tale production for all the family.

Back by popular demand, is North East Queen of Comedy, the fabulous Miss Rory (Boulevard) as Rorina La Plonk and hilarious local comic Tom Whalley as Louis La Plonk, with further casting to be announced.

Join Belle, The Beast, Fairy Bon Bon, larger than life Rorina La Plonk and her cheeky chappy son Louis La Plonk as they are transported to a cursed castle, under the spell of an evil enchantress. Can the wicked Hugo be defeated, can Belle see beyond the Beast and fall in love with her captor, will the Beasts heart be melted by Belle’s beauty?

With slide splitting comedy, stunning sets and costumes, and an unmissable transformation moment, join us for the North East’s canniest panto!
