This year’s College Musical is Beauty & the Beast and it will be performed on Friday November 15th and Saturday November 16th in the BSR. All are welcome. Alice McCarthy and Jack Francis McKeon play the title characters but they are supported by a large enthusiastic and talented cast. The musical is directed by Ms Caroline Duggan and Mr Ronan Swift and is sure to be a spectacle. All are welcome to attend.

An arrogant young prince and his castle’s servants fall under the spell of a wicked enchantress, who turns him into the hideous beast until he learns to love and be loved in return. The spirited, headstrong village girl Belle enters the Beast’s castle after he imprisons her father Maurice. With the help of his enchanted servants, including the matronly Mrs. Potts, Belle begins to draw the cold-hearted Beast out of his isolation.
