The classic tale, with the compelling message that beauty is found within, was presented by a cast of 35 youngsters who have been rehearsing since September for their own unique version of the show.

The production was directed by Oliver Daley who said: "I am so proud of the whole cast.

"The production showcased the incredible talent the young performers at Burnley Youth Theatre have.

"They have worked tirelessly in such a short amount of time and their commitment has been commendable. Our vision here at Burnley Youth Theatre is to be able to create new and exciting high quality theatre and I am proud to say that ‘Beauty and the Beast’ captured this."

Oliver added that the feedback from audiences had been very positive and each of the performances had been a sell out.
