A while ago we found out a new tour of Beauty and the Beast was heading for the UK in 2021 and initial dates have now come out.
The new production will kick off at the Curve Leicester on May 25th 2021 before heading to Dublin, Bristol, Liverpool and Edinburgh with more dates potentially being announced in due course.

The Disney Theatrical team are making creative changes including a trimmed show length, new sets and costumes including a new outfit for Belle, losing her apron as well as a new tap dance routine during 'Be Our Guest'.
Casting is underway with director Rob Roth on the lookout for a diverse cast.
Ticket information is released tomorrow from http://beautyandthebeastmusical.co.uk
This looks like one of the must see theatrical events of 2021. With rumours of a West End run following the tour, this is going to be unmissable.
