Lowveld Beauty and the Beast will be on stage at the civic theatre from October 24 to 26.

A fairytale will come to life on the stage of the civic theatre from October 24 to 26. With extravagant costumes, excellent singers, dancers and actors and just a little bit of magic, Lowveld Beauty and the Beast is ready to blow you away.

“The cast was picked earlier this year, and we have been practising for about 10 weeks now. I guarantee that this will be the best show that the Lowveld has ever seen,” said
the show’s director and producer, Felicia Lemmer.

The cast consists of talented children, adults who have an operatic background, brilliant choreography and dancers from Tollie’s Dance Academy as well as a beautiful ballerina, Camryn Griesel, who has been trained by the acclaimed June de Villiers.

The costumes of all the townsfolk in the show were provided by Fantasy Flair while blood, sweat and elbow grease ensured that the rest of the cast have stunning costumes. According to Lemmer, this show is so much more than just the movie.

“We have many surprises in store for the audience. The show will not just be on stage, but it will be happening around the audience and include them in the story too.”
