Ipswich’s favourite Rock ‘n’ Roll panto hits the New Wolsey Theatre stage this winter with ‘Beauty and the Beast!’

Mrs Ringer, our fabulous Dame, is busy making wedding plans for her daughter, unaware that Belle and her feathered friend Pigeon have other ideas!

Drawn to a mysterious, 1000-year-old door hidden in the heart of Ipswich, they uncover a magical secret – a Beast cursed by the wicked Snarlina.

Can the Beast break the spell in time by learning to love again? Can Belle see beyond his fearsome face? And can Pigeon save the day without getting in a flap?

Find out in our latest spectacular festive show for all ages that’s packed full of magical adventure, hilarious panto gags and incredible rock and pop hits all played live by an exceptionally talented cast!
