Disney's Beauty and the Beast JR at Peoples Theatre - WOW!

Disney's Beauty and the Beast JR #BeautyBeastJR

Jill Girard and Keith Smith have done it again with the most recent production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast JR at Peoples Theatre. It's amazing, entertaining and totally different than the previous shows. It's not only theatre for young people, but for the whole family. The "storybook comes to life" shows are always a total treat. I am surprised each time at how creative they use the stage and the characters while still staying true to the original story. Well done! This is a great way to introduce children to theatre, and making them want to come back for more.

Miss Fine asked for the first time about the kids playing in the show.  How do they get to be there? They are such wonderful actors already, and inspires her immensely. I had to tell her about the auditions, but hopefully she forgets to ask again (*thumbs crossed*). It looks like they have so much fun on stage, but I am thinking about all the repetition and hard work and getting the children there...

We were blown away by the set and lighting for this show. The transparent drops with moving images added so much more to the eerie and somber scenes.

Disney's Beauty and the Beast JR will be on until 24 December. It will be great for an exam reliever or a great holiday outing in December.

Upbeat Annie JR at Peoples Theatre - WIN family tickets

Annie Jr - Peoples Theatre

Annie JR opened last week at Peoples Theatre in Braamfontein. We are Peoples Theatre groupies by now. The Show always ticks all the boxes. Great entertainment. Great cast. Great script. Great fun. Great for the whole family, from ages 2 to 100. Annie JR did not disappoint. The ever-fresh 1924 comic character story of an optimistic upbeat Annie JR has been done so many times, but the story never disappoints. Annie is such a breath of fresh air in her circumstances; so much so that you the children are cheering her from the sidelines all the way. Singing "Tomorrow" with gusto at the end of the musical.
SO. MUCH. FUN.

At the Peoples Theatre on a Friday night - Perfect!!

Annie an absolute delight - for the kids AND adults. We loved it!
Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻@peoples_theatre #AnnieJr#PeoplesTheatre#TheatreForTheFamily#ThingsToDoWithKids#TheatreForKids pic.twitter.com/mH5cQY10sq

Theatre veteran Jill Gerard says Annie is a firm favourite. "Annie stands for innate decency, courage and optimism in the face of hard times, pessimism and despair. Shje is an inspiration all of us."

Peoples Theatre has made available two family tickets (4 each) to be won here.
