It’s panto time and tickets are selling well for the Frome Musical Theatre Company’s production of Beauty & the Beast, a traditional family pantomime.
Rehearsals are in full swing for the production which takes place at the Frome Memorial Theatre from 29th December – 4nd January.
A tale as old as time, this enchanting production is very much a Pantomime with all the usual characters and slapstick fun with a large cast, bright costumes, fabulous set and lighting and wonderful live music.
Come and see if Belle manages to keep the unwanted attentions of Gustave at bay and finds it in her heart to love the Beast before the last rose dies
The award-winning Frome Musical Theatre Company pantomime promises bright costumes, plenty of sparkle, colourful sets, a witty script, a variety of musical numbers and of course audience participation.
The cast includes: Belle – Abi Baker; Beast – Mike Perry; Madame Fifi – Jon 0’Loughlin; Gustave -Dan Bolton; Monique – Teresa Isaacson; Marcel – Owen White; Whitney – Anna Lee; Britney -Ella Evans; Jaques – Ben Griffiths; Alphonse – Simon Joyce; Prince Danton, Hannah Wicks; Belladonna – Ria MacRae-Nash; Flora – Sarah Bolton; Monsieur Le Fou – Wayne Kelly.
Frome Musical Theatre Company is renowned for being one of the most professional pantomime productions in the area, with local audiences choosing them over Bath and Bristol; this year will be no exception!

![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
