Beauty and the Beast is one of Disney’s most iconic musicals, based on the traditional French fairy tale. It tells the story of Belle, played by Ellie McDermott, a bright and independent young woman who is taken prisoner in a mysterious castle by a Beast, played by Alex Keogan, who, unbeknownst to her, is under a powerful spell.
As the story unfolds, Belle begins to look beyond the Beast’s frightening appearance and discovers the kind heart and soul within. With unforgettable songs such as “Be Our Guest,” “Gaston,” and the show-stopping “Beauty and the Beast,” this is a production that blends humour, romance, and a powerful message about love and acceptance.
The students of Abbey Community College have thrown themselves into rehearsals with huge enthusiasm. The cast and crew, supported by an experienced team of teachers, have shown remarkable dedication and creativity in preparing for the show. From choreographing dance numbers to designing sets and costumes, every element of the production reflects the talent and teamwork of those involved.
St. Joseph’s Hall will be transformed into a magical world for the three-night run, and audiences can expect a professional-quality production filled with colour, energy, and heart.
Whether you’re a fan of musicals, fairy tales, or simply want to support local young talent, Beauty and the Beast at Abbey Community College is not to be missed.
