Carnival City’s Mardi Gras Theatre provides the stage for the O.A.K Youth Theatre’s captivating musical production, Beauty and the Beast.
The show, starring talented performers from the greater Gauteng area, tells a classic story of true love and features beautiful costumes and songs that will have audiences tapping their feet.
Beauty and the Beast, which enjoyed a highly successful run at the Atterbury Theatre in 2018, will be staged at the Mardi Gras Theatre from March 21 to 24.
“We are delighted to partner with O.A.K Youth Theatre to bring this wonderfully produced show to Ekurhuleni during the upcoming school holidays,” said Michelle Smith, Carnival City’s marketing manager.

True love prevails at the end of this classic tale.
We get to know Belle as a young woman from a small town where everybody thinks she is odd as she loves to read books.
The gregarious Gaston sets his eyes on the beautiful Belle and decides she will be his future bride, much to the delight of Gaston’s sidekick, Le Fou.
The Beast captures Belle’s father, Maurice, when he tries to pick Belle a beautiful rose in a garden, not knowing he is, in fact, on the Beast’s property.
While on a quest to find her father, Belle happens to discover the Beast’s castle.
What Belle encounters at the castle is somewhat confusing, as she has never before met a talking teapot, a grumpy clock, a boisterous feather duster and a charming candlestick.
However, with a very nifty plan, she swaps places with her father and finds herself to be the grumpy and discontented Beast’s prisoner.
