Tale as old as time gets a new international audience!
We're very excited to announce Beauty and the Beast will be making its debut in Ho Chi Minh City and Hà Nội this December!
A first for Vietnam, this panto production will be big on emotion, passion and excitement! Featuring heart-stirring musical numbers, drama, humour and audience participation, Beauty and the Beast promises to raise the roof on the large capacity theatres which will welcome the UK team in just two months time!
Stepping into the iconic role and flexing plenty of muscle as Gaston is singing sensation Michael Auger from Collabro.
Disney's Art Attack presenter Lloyd Warbey brings plenty of laughter as Philippe Philoppe, aided and abetted by the talented James Dangerfield as Professor Crackpot.
Casting spells and bewitching audiences as the troublesome witch is Georgiana Reilly and the title roles of Beauty and the Beast will be portrayed with superb performances from Charlotte Castle and Tom Liggins.
Paul Holman said:
"We're thrilled to have been asked to introduce this great British genre to a new audience in Vietnam. The production will blend traditional pantomime elements with the high-caliber performances expected from West End stars, making it an ideal introduction."
PHA are delighted to team up with AMO Vietnam and Lee Brennan Entertainment to produce the first UK pantomime in the country.
Nick George said:
“I’ve been lucky to produce many overseas productions, but this is our first visit to Vietnam, which is obviously an exciting prospect for both PHA and the cast. We have put together a team of top performers and creatives who I have no doubt will delight local audiences with the production of Beauty and the Beast. PHA looks forward to our continued partnership with our colleagues at AMO.”
And so, the stage will soon be set for this 'tale as old as time,' as Beauty and the Beast prepares to enchant a new audience in Vietnam.
