They’ll be joining the show as the hilarious Breda and Bridie, dim-witted servants to the Beast who are sure to get up to some hijinks. Red Rock alumni John Lovett is also on board, adding a sprinkling of fabulousness to the show as he takes on the role of the glamourous Dame Lola. Michael Kiersey will play the selfie obsessed Gaston, who professes his love for the beautiful Belle (although not as much as he loves himself!) Damien Douglas will bring the panto fun factor as his silly but loveable sidekick Gascraic.

The show features a combination of the biggest and most glamorous sets and costumes in Ireland and chart-topping hits of the past and present. Don’t miss this fabulous Christmas treat for all the family.
