The tough times for theatres continued today as yet another local theatre had to postpone its Christmas production.

Up and down the country we have seen pantomimes and shows cancelled and postponed and now the Rose in Kingston has had to follow suit.

There is no real indication as to when audiences will be able to return to theatres so The Rose's production of Beauty and the Beast had to be postponed.

Originally scheduled to run from 4 Dec 2020 – 3 Jan 2021, the production will now run from 3 Dec 2021 – 3 Jan 2022.

Current bookings will automatically be switched to the equivalent performance in the Christmas 2021 run, though there may be slight differences to the day or date originally selected.

The Rose's box office will be in touch with every customer to confirm details.

Tickets for next year are now available for purchase on The Rose's website HERE

The Rose looks forward to bringing audiences an exciting, extra special production of Beauty and the Beast for Christmas 2021.

After last year's impressive production of The Snow Queen, Beauty and the Beast is sure to be another exciting experience.

The Rose is the largest producing theatre and usually welcomes in around 150,000 people every year.

It is now crucial to support our theatres so if you can definitely secure yourself a ticket for next year.
