Gisborne Secondary College students are inviting you to be their guest when they take to the stage in Beauty and the Beast.
The show features 100 students from years 7-12 who are ready to say “bonjour” to the audience.
Co-director Narelle Cocks said she was looking forward to bringing a tale as old as time to the stage.
“I love Beauty and the Beast, I’ve seen the show many times,” she said.
“I’ve never done a Disney show before at the school and I thought a Disney one would be really good.
“I always stayed clear of Beauty and the Beast because it has such grand sets and grand costumes. But I got approached by one of the mothers who is a seamstress and she volunteered to make all our costumes for us.”
Ms Cocks said cast and crew members were thrilled to perform the classic tale.
“Last year they did Annie and Chicago so this is a completely different show and I think they really like the magic and fantasy about the show,” she said.
Beauty and the Beast will be performed at the college’s Barcham Theatre, Melton Road Gisborne on August 2-3 and 9-10.
