To celebrate this year’s Book Week Beauty and the Beast, currently playing at Her Majesty’s Theatre until the end of the year, has partnered with City of Melbourne Libraries to host free cast readings next week!
Young fans of Beauty and the Beast are encouraged to dress up at both the Docklands Library and narrm ngarrgu Library to meet the cast of Disney’s acclaimed new musical whilst hearing the story of Belle and her Beast.
Jayde Westaby, who plays Mrs Potts:
When my son was young, I loved reading to him. As an actor, I did all the voices – I really enjoyed bringing the books to life. Now, our favourite tradition is creating a Book Week costume together every year.
