She is beauty, she is grace… she’s ended up in an awfully strange place.

Belle is on a quest to heal her unwell father. To save him, her books lead her to a magical rose on the grounds of a mysterious castle just outside of the quaint village of Wellingville. But when she arrives, Belle seems to disturb a monstrous Beast with bad manaakitanga. As the castle comes to life, Belle must navigate challenges her books didn’t prepare her for.

Zut alors! For the first time ever, the Circa Theatre pantomime goes to France with another fresh take on a family favourite. Featuring spectacular songs, goofy gags, and a spellbinding story for all ages.

A sell-out every summer, do not miss this magical night at the theatre.

Reviews from Sleeping Beauty (2024):

“Classic family fun for all ages … creates a nebulous, magical world.” – Art Murmurs
