Beauty and The Beast – A fairytale land, far, far away. A handsome young bookworm who always dreamt of more. A hideous beast, in her cursed castle… It’s a tale as old as time, as you’ve never heard it before. This Christmas, from the creators of the award-winning sell-out hit Buzz: A New Musical, comes a big hairy dollop of festive fun.

With a cast of five and an onstage musician, brace yourself for 90 minutes of boundless energy and musical madness as Fat Rascal Theatre explore whether fairytales really can come true – even when the princess doesn’t quite fit the slipper. This is a brand new, gender-swapped parody of Beauty and the Beast.

       

Fat Rascal Theatre strive to create fresh and funny feminist musical theatre. They are a company run by women with a core team of four female actresses, a female director and a female producer. They challenge the constraints of being a female within the industry, and discuss social and political issues through an accessible and appealing format to engage a wider audience.

Beauty and The Beast is at The King’s Head Theatre 11th December – 6th January
