Competition: Win family tickets to Beauty and the Beast pantomime at the Victoria Theatre in Halifax
The countdown is on (oh yes it is!) to the Victoria Theatre's pantomime and we're offering readers the chance to experience the festive show.
The Halifax Courier has teamed up with the Victoria Theatre for a competition to win tickets to see Beauty and the Beast, which will be running from December 12 until January 4.
When an arrogant prince is cursed to live as a beast, his only hope of salvation is to find love before the last petal falls from an enchanted rose. Can village girl Belle see beyond appearances and learn to love a beast?
This season sees the return of seasoned actor and Halifax favourite Andrew Pollard as the larger-than-life Dame Madeline Marzipan. He will be joined by Matthew Allen on his Victoria Theatre panto debut as the hilarious French Frank.
Sam Willison reprises the role of the Prince/Beast, which he last played at the venue in 2019 alongside Beth Woodcock as Belle and Cathy Breeze as Professor Potage. Neil Moors plays the boo-able baddy Benedict Bourbon with Nikki Schofield spreading a little panto magic as Fairy Flutterby.
Robert Lofthouse, marketing manager at the Victoria Theatre, said: “With an all-singing, all-dancing ensemble which includes Nathan Christy, Chloe Mae McDonald, Jacob Stebbings and Naomi Tower and a cast of talented local youngsters to bring the magical fairytale to life, the show promises to be a laugh-out-loud festive treat for the whole family.
“Make memories this festive season with this fun-filled Christmas panto spectacular which is the perfect treat for all the family!
“This traditional family pantomime is packed full of all the ingredients you know and love - hilarious slapstick comedy, plenty of audience interaction and marvellous musical numbers.
“Beauty and the Beast is sure to be the hottest ticket in West Yorkshire for Christmas 2025.”
