After going to see Tarzan (us all) and then Mary Poppins (Jo, Danielle and Viv) we were keen to see the musical Beauty and the Beast at the Circus Theatre in Scheveningen. Definitely didn’t disappoint . . .

The Circus Theatre was literally 100m from our apartment. We got dressed up – well as much dressed up as we could with our holiday clothes collection. For a Thursday night I was surprised to see a full house. Lots of excited families and kids running around . . .

The story starts with a prince who is a bit of a shit – gets turned into a beast by an old witch with an “out” that if someone falls in love with him before his rose loses all his petals, he will turn back into his original form. Belle from the village falls in love with him and he presto. That was a bit of a quick plot summary . . . Music was pretty cool. Great seats. Great night.
