About the Show:
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: A HORNY LOVE STORY
He might be a beast but his castle is to die for!
Award-winning adult-panto queens He’s Behind You! return with a ridiculous new version of the 18th greatest love story ever told.
Be our guest in the frostbitten Scottish village of Lickmanochers where inexperienced mummy’s boy Bertie becomes the prisoner of an aristocratic brute with lustrous body hair and a castle that's just begging for a makeover. As the snow falls, it's not just the tension that rises...
Starring the best dame in town Matthew Baldwin (“sublime” - Guardian; “wonderful” - Time Out) and packed with big laughs, daft frocks, hilarious songs and all the panto trimmings, don’t miss London’s top festive night out. It’s fabulous fun – just NOT for all the family.
