Wolverhampton Grand Theatre has announced Beauty and the Beast as next year’s pantomime, a first for the Grand Theatre stage at Christmas.

Beauty and the Beast for the 2024/25 pantomime season will be written by and star Ian Adams and Tam Ryan, the duo behind this year’s production of Snow White. Your favourite panto mother-and-son duo return for their eighth and fourth year respectively.

Join them as they journey into an enchanted castle with Princess Beauty who discovers a host of magical characters cursed under the spell of an evil Queen, including a fearsome beast!

Can she see him for more than a monster? Will he learn to love another in the ultimate adventure to turn him back into a prince before the final petal falls from an enchanted rose?

Beauty and the Beast will run from Saturday 30 November 2024 – Sunday 5 January 2025. Tickets will go on sale to Friends of the Grand and members from 10am online on Monday 4 December 2023 and public sales begin at 10am online on Friday 8 December 2023 via grandtheatre.co.uk
