THIS YEAR'S PANTO IS "SIMPLY THE BEAST"!

The curtain has finally fallen on Ferneham Hall's Christmas production Beauty and the Beast ... we said this year's production was going to be "Simply the Beast!" and we were right! Jordan Production's masterly retelling of the classic French fairy tale Beauty and the Beast has smashed last year's box office takings by 18% and has proved a popular success too, wowing audiences and critics alike!

The festive production which ran from Friday 9 December to Sunday 1 January starred Ian "H" Watkins from recently reformed pop sensation Steps as Potty Pierre, the hapless castle pot washer, and Brookside's Steven Pinder as Beauty's ailing father Jean Jacques!

But don't take our word for how good this year's pantomime is ... take a look at our marvelous reviews!

"Missing this show would be a Tragedy"

Rachel Jones, The News

"The production was ... lavish from the musical numbers to the elegant costumes, and the slick everchanging sets to the beautifully choreographed dance routines ... a total success"

Emma Allen, The Daily Echo

"This show .... has so much to offer. It deserves to be one of their most successful ever pantomimes at Ferneham Hall and the box-office receipts are heading that way." 

John Hannam, The Stage

"Everyone is tightening their belts this year and there are a few festive shows around the area but I suggest if you wish to attend one performance, make it Beauty & The Beast."

"So with lots of cheesy jokes and even more cheesy songs we left feeling festive and ready for Christmas, if you haven't got tickets yet what you waiting for? Well worth a trip."
