Trish Adudu on BBC CWR

Available for over a year

A statement on the theatre's website states: "We’re incredibly sad to say that some of our Panto company have recently tested positive for Covid. This means that we have to suspend live performances and we know we will not able to restart live performances of Beauty and the Beast until Saturday 18 December at the earliest. Knowing this would always be a risk during the ongoing pandemic, we have taken the precaution of creating a professionally filmed version of our Beauty and the Beast production. We intend to screen this filmed version to audiences at the Theatre from Friday 10 December, in place of the planned live performances". The statement confirms that performances in the B2 theatre are unaffected and will proceed as planned
