Come and join us at the Victoria Theatre for the magical family panto Beauty and the Beast.
When an arrogant prince is cursed to live as a beast, his only hope of salvation is to find love before the last petal falls from an enchanted rose. Can village girl Belle see beyond appearances and learn to love a beast?
Make memories this festive season with this fun-filled Christmas cracker which is the perfect treat for all the family! Packed full of all the traditional panto ingredients you know and love, hilarious slapstick comedy, plenty of audience interaction and marvellous musical numbers, Beauty and the Beast is sure to be the hottest ticket in West Yorkshire for Christmas 2025.
Beauty and the Beast is presented once again by our pantomime production company Imagine Theatres who have been producing Halifax's Christmas pantomimes at the Victoria Theatre for over a decade. Previous panto productions presented at the Victoria Theatre Halifax by Imagine Theatres have included Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, Jack and the Beanstalk, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Aladdin, Dick Whittington and Cinderella.
The Victoria Theatre Halifax's Christmas panto will be a magical treat for families across Calderdale and West Yorkshire.
