Shakespeare by the Sea is thrilled to announce the world premiere of

Beauty and the Beast: The Fairy-tale Game-show Musical!

​

Created by celebrated Nova Scotian artists Dan Bray and Garry Williams, the musical reimagines Beauty and the Beast through the chaotic world of reality game-show television, bringing a modern, comedic edge to the classic “tale as old as time”.

​

Starring Nova Scotian actor Seb Reade as Belle, returning for their second season at SBTS, and Chris George as The Beast (back for his 5th Season) the production blends heart, humour, and high-energy performance to continue the beloved tradition of fun family musicals in Point Pleasant Park! 

​

Hilarious, modern, and fun for the whole family, this world premiere promises an unforgettable night at the theatre.
