Tom Brace, Divina De Campo and Mama G starring in pantomime Beauty and the Beast at BEAM theatre in Hertford

The cast for BEAM theatre’s Christmas pantomime Beauty and the Beast includes three big-name stars - oh yes it does!

Comedy magician Tom Brace, who grew up in Harlow, will feature in the Hertford venue’s production alongside RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finalist Divina De Campo and Britain’s Got Talent star Mama G.

The show, which is being produced by the multi-award-winning Imagine Theatre, runs from December 5 to January 4.

Brace is known for his family-friendly shows that combine side-splitting comedy, storytelling and jaw-dropping tricks.

“I grew up in Harlow and so know Hertford quite well. Having started my performing career in panto aged 11, It’ll be lovely to come back to my old stomping grounds for the festive season,” said Brace.

“I’m so excited to be joining the cast of Beauty and the Beast and thrilled to be adding some magic and chaos to the stage this year at BEAM!”

The panto will be packed with hilarious slapstick comedy, plenty of audience interaction and marvellous musical numbers. Find out more and book tickets at beamhertford.co.uk.
