East Van Panto: Beauty and the Beast
Scenic Illustrations, 2023
Theatre Replacement, The Cultch, York Theatre
Bright, business-minded Belle has always been different from other kids growing up on the Drive. Her nose is always stuck in a book — a general ledger book that is!
Everything changes when she’s separated from her free-spirited dad Maurice and becomes imprisoned in an enchanted specialty grocery store by a strangely familiar Beast who seems very set in his ways. Time is running out and Belle and her new friends Miso Potts, little Tofu and their Bento Buds must do everything they can to flip the perspective of Belle’s captor and break the curse before the last cherry blossom falls!
