​
With the endless fun had during rehearsals towards our teen production of Beauty and the Beast, we are thrilled to offer younger performers the chance to shine in our upcoming production of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST JR!
​
We're excited to announce a junior production of this Disney musical, A Tale as Old as Time that is a great way to follow on from Frozen. Open to performers aged 7-16, this is the perfect opportunity for young stars to take the stage and bring this enchanting story to life.
​
Based on the original Broadway hit and Academy Award-winning film, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. is a magical adaptation of this classic tale of transformation and love. With beloved songs by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, and Tim Rice, this production is filled with fun roles - including enchanted objects inside the Beast's castle.
​
The production will be staged at Theatre Severn the week commencing October 27th, 2025.
