Rare Productions are staging the Disney classic Beauty and the Beast at Bedford Corn Exchange between April 7 and April 9.

Based on the award-winning animated film, the stage version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast includes all of the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr Menken and Tim Rice.

The audiences will be transported to the heart of provincial life in a lovely French town. When Maurice becomes lost in the woods on the way to the fair, he seeks shelter in an old castle, but the master of the castle is a horrible beast that takes him captive.

Maurice’s daughter, Belle, must then give up her freedom to save his life. Belle’s taming of the unfortunate Beast and his ultimate transformation back into a handsome prince enthralled Broadway audiences for over 13 years.

This tale is filled with spectacular costume and set opportunities. The fantastic show offers a great opportunity to bring the entire community together for family theatre at its best.

Rare Productions produces quality amateur children’s productions taking children from the local area and give them the opportunity to perform real shows on real stages with professional costume, set, sound and lighting.

Performances are at 7.30pm. Tickets are £12 or £8 concessions. Call the box office on 01234 269519.
