Beauty and The Beast

A celebration of being bold and gloriously yourself, this year’s Citizens Theatre production of Beauty and The Beast is a family-friendly and funny new take on the classic fairytale.

Marking a joyful milestone in the theatre’s reopening year as the first Christmas production back in its redeveloped home, the Citz’s Beauty and The Beast is packed with live music, mischief, festive magic and storytelling that will captivate children and adults alike. With its ambitious scale, vivid set and costume design and clever twists on the classic story, it is set to be a must-see event this festive season.

The cast of Beauty and The Beast brings together a vibrant mix of well-known performers and exciting new talent. Making her professional debut in the role of Beauty is Israela Efomi, a recent graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, whose fresh energy and presence promise to bring something special to the role. She stars alongside Nicholas Marshall as Beast, one of the Citizens Theatre’s 2025/26 Graduate Actors.
