Opening tonight is a local production that EVERYONE should go and see.

‘Carillon Theatrical Society in association with Hal Leonard is proud to present ‘the award winning musical ‘Beauty and the Beast’ . Based on a traditional French fairy tale, the musical first ran on Broadway between 1994 and 2007, and quickly proved a favourite with audiences as Broadway’s eighth longest –running production in history, and has since been produced throughout the world.

‘Beauty and the Beast’ transports audiences to the heart of provincial life, and tells the story of the taming of a Beast by the intelligent and beautiful heroine, Belle. It is the story about one man’s loss of humanity, and how he overcomes this ultimately through true love. At the show’s heart is the conviction that true beauty is found within.

In Australia, Beauty & the Beast began its Australian run in Melbourne before moving to Sydney, and was the launch of Hugh Jackman’s stage career, who stole the show as the chauvinistic, arrogant Gaston.

Beauty and the Beast is proudly performed by one of the largest cast ever assembled by the Carillon Theatrical Society and represents the Society’s first Disney production. Beauty and the Beast is a fairytale musical that appeals to audiences of all ages, and is a show definitely not to be missed’.

The costumes, the practice, the storyline is all perfectly melded into a wonderful local production.

I am taking this as my first real girl date with my little toddler-bird and my own mumma-bird.

I cannot wait.

Do the right thing, grab tickets and support local.
