Graeme Muncer, who during the summer featured in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Theatre Royal, Brighton in front of sell-out audiences, is the director this year.

“I am really excited about this year’s show,” he said. “Because of the number of actors that we needed, I managed to persuade a few of the actors who I performed with in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to join us for our annual pantomime.

“Beauty and the Beast is a classic love story which is perfect for pantomime. It will give our wonderful cast of actors, dancers and singers a chance to display their full range of talents. It will also create some new challenges for our costume department!

“We have been rehearsing since September and I am convinced that we will be putting on an outstanding show for everyone.

“There will be sing-alongs and sweets for the kids and opportunities for the audience to join in with the fun with lots of shouting and screaming. There is a licensed bar serving a variety of alcoholic and soft drinks as well as sweets. The afternoon performances begin at 2pm and evening performances at 7.30pm.”

Tickets are £13 for adults and £9 for children. All tickets on both Saturday evenings are £13. £9 for all tickets on Friday, January 17.
