“It is a lovely opportunity for some people who want to try and get a break in and even people who are established to come along and audition and to be in a big Christmas show. “So, we're offering two talented people to get around six or seven weeks of work with us this Christmas playing either the beautiful Belle or the handsome prince who also plays the Beast.”“It’s a bit intense for the period you’re doing it, but it’s great fun and people really enjoy it when they do it,” he said.“Over the years we’ve had lots of people tread the boards with us for the first time, so we’re also looking for that.
