What's on in London: Beauty and the Beast: A Horny Love Story
He's behind you!
If an adult pantomime is part of your festive season traditions, you'll probably want to check out Beauty and the Beast: A Horny Love Story.
This is a fun night out. Even if you're new to the tradition of pantomime, this classic combination of bawdy humour, music and dance, and a reimagining of a classic tale is accessible and entertaining.
Setting the story in Scotland, the show has been written by Jon Bradfield and Martin Hooper, and is directed by Andrew Beckett. The cast for this production includes Matt Kennedy, Keanu Adolphus Johnson, Laura Anna-Mead, Matthew Baldwin, Chris Lane, Dani Mirels, Ben Mabberley, Owen Arkrow, and Olivia-Grace Weaver.
It's an energetic cast that embraces the art-form. Like any panto, it helps if you approach this show with the intention of having a good time. Don't overthink it, just let yourself have a good time and a fun night out.
"You could say that the Beauty and the Beast story taps into ideas about body image, isolation and relationships in the gay community in today’s online world..." says Jon Bradfield, writer of the show. "But as we’re not Arts Council funded, we're making a very silly and embarrassingly rude romantic comedy."
Beauty and the Beast: A Horny Love Story will run at the Charing Cross Theatre from 21 November until 11 January
