Beauty and the Beast pantomime
This Christmas, Croydon sparkles brighter than ever with UK Productions’ spectacular pantomime take on the timeless tale – Beauty and the Beast.
Leading this star-studded cast is Ellie Dadd, beloved by millions as EastEnders’ Amy Mitchell, who brings warmth, grace and charisma to the role of Belle, the kind-hearted heroine who captures hearts wherever she goes. Sharing the stage with her is the outrageously funny Charlie Guest as Louis La Plonk, returning for his third triumphant year to deliver his trademark comedy and charm, and Croydon’s own panto legend Jamie Steen as the uproarious Polly La Plonk, dazzling in outrageous costumes and bringing riotous humour and show-stopping flair to the stage.
They’re joined by West End favourite Sorelle Marsh as the enchanting Fairy Bon Bon, Will Haswell who brings quick wit and charm as Hugo Pompidou, and Samuel John Taylor adds heart and romance as The Prince.
This production is written by award-winning writer Jon Monie, directed by Sarah Redmond, and choreographed by Anthony Whiteman - the powerhouse creative trio behind hits such as Aladdin, Peter Pan and Snow White. With lavish new sets, show-stopping musical numbers and jaw-dropping special effects, this is UK Productions’ definitive take on the timeless tale – magical, musical and utterly unmissable.
