⭐ RUMOUR – DISNEY’S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST TO PLAY LONDON PALLADIUM – CHRISTMAS 2021 ⭐
The recently announced UK & Ireland tour of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast will reportedly play the London Palladium – Christmas 2021, it is rumoured.
The highly anticipated production was rumoured to transfer to the West End sometime in 2022 by Daily Mail’s Baz Bamigboye but a trusted source has stated the show will play a season at the London Palladium for Christmas 2021.
The tour will start from May 2021, beginning with a 5-week run at the Curve Leicester.
Producers Disney Theatrical have confirmed the original Broadway creative team is set to return, led by director Robert Jesse Roth and choreographer Matt West, bringing new designs and choreography to the tale as old as time.
Beauty and the Beast is a musical with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and book by Linda Woolverton. Adapted from Walt Disney Pictures’ Academy Award-winning 1991 animated musical film of the same name.
This is definitely an interesting rumour. If Beauty and the Beast plays the London Palladium over Christmas, that means there won’t be a Panto playing at the Palladium next year, which would be highly unusual, given how successful they’ve been the last couple of years. I’m intrigued to see how this plays out, if true.
