Rehearsals have begun for this year’s family panto at the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, Beauty and the Beast.

The cast which features soap star Danny Walters, Andy Collins, La Voix, and Amelia Adams Pierce, have been rehearsing and having some final costume adjustments ahead of the opening on December 6.

Beauty and the Beast is the Waterside’s 10th traditional family pantomime and tickets are selling fast for the annual production fast becoming the hot Christmas date in family diaries across Bucks and beyond.

Danny is enjoying rehearsals so far, he said: “The theatre is stunning, and the staff are making us all feel very welcome.

“Myself and the cast are getting our heads down and intend to make this a show to remember.

“It’s great to be getting back on stage reprising this amazing role, and I’ve heard the local audiences love panto!”

Andy Collins returns for his 9th year and will be teaming up with La Voix for the 5th time.

The duo have many tricks up their sleeves and have been working on the show since September with director Chris Nelson.
