Beauty and the Beast

  CTK school children watched  a live show at Manukau Vodafone Centre;  the Beauty and the Beast, the fantastic production of Sancta Maria College.

Have you ever gone to a theatre to watch a live show? Christ the King has! We watched Sancta Maria College’s Beauty and the Beast Production at Manukau Vodafone Centre. We went on Friday the 9th of May. The Production started at 12 P.M. Sancta Maria students acted as the characters in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. The main characters in the play were Belle, The Beast, Lumiere (candle), Babette (duster), Cogsworth (clock), Maurice, Mrs Potts, Chip, Wardrobe and Gaston.


In the story of Beauty and the Beast, there was a selfish and mean prince who didn’t treat people nicely. One day there was a witch who came to his dark and gloomy palace and begged him for something. Every time she begged he refused and told her to go away. The witch became furious and put a curse on him.The witch gave him a rose and told him before the last rose petal falls. He has to find the love of his life and he has to return that love so that the curse would be broken. This curse made him become a mean beast. All his housemaids and helpers became talking teapots, candles, clocks, wardrobes, cups and other things. In a little town there is a beautiful girl named Belle. She was a caring and a nice person. She was the one that would break the curse that the witch had put on the beast. When Belle entered the gloomy palace to find her father, the beast fell in love with her but to break the curse, Belle had to return the love back to him.


I thought that the production was excellent but the only thing I didn’t like was the romance. I like how the actors acted their part very well and how they made it so real. The actors were very convincing and I really like the singing parts of the production. The scenes were beautiful! I really like the gloomy palace scene but they should have  tried to make Belle’s room more like a royal bedroom. They also should have made the scene more like a dinner place where Belle and the beast could eat dinner. Other than these things everything else was perfect! I rate the production 5 star!

I recommend this production to young and old who really like fairy-tales and who really like watching live theatre. I would also recommend this to people who love watching Disney’s version of fairy tales

  1. Hi! Liezl,

    I like the way you introduce the characters of Beauty and the Beast,and I also like you're opinions. I already watched and read Beauty and the Beast but your one is more interesting. Have you read the story of Beauty and the Beast ?, I'm looking forward to more of your stories.
