Yesterday, Saturday the 26th of October was the day I took my 4 year old daughter and 8 year old cousin to see Beauty and the Beast the Musical at the Palace Theatre in Manchester.
The show started off with a musical ensemble and with two actors on stage, one as the prince and the other as the haggered person with the rose. Very dramatic start as the haggered person' outfit is stripped to display the beauty ejected into the air with lots and lots of bright lights of a "firework display".
The show itself is based on the Disney film and was very well presented.
The two kids were rather bored with show by about 40 minutes into the musical as sometimes some of the scenes were limited to 2 actors and very little activity. Some of the scenes were very funny when Lefou got in the way and being hit over by the Young Prince. They thought that this was very funny.
Fantastic background muriels. Very colourful show but judging by my girls' boredom and some other kids that were around the stall, a lot of chit chat unfortunately didn't necessarily mean that because the word "Disney" was included in the title, that the kids would be quite as interested.
The story wasn't quite how I remembered it from years ago but I suppose they updated it slightly.
The Palace Theatre in Manchester would not be suitable for wheelchairs etc even thought they have ramps over the stairs the toilets were very inaccesible and very steep stairs to get to from the grand tier. I didn't see the lower tier area at all therefore I cannot comment. Expensive drinks and food within the hall.
I thoroughly enjoyed the musical but for the 4 and 8 year old, a 2 hour show is a little too long to be kept occupied.
Advantages: Peaceful and colourful stop, very lush Disadvantages: Few.
...struck me strongly was that several of the plants here growing happily outdoors are ones that we see (much smaller versions of) as indoor plants in the UK and also of course flowers and plants we would normally only see in a florist or flower arrangement here growing outdoors ? but you have to remind yourself that you are closer to South America here than anywhere else and not far off the equator.
I noted plants like Begonia?s, but not the little six-inch high specimens we get in the UK ? these were three or four feet high with leaves six inches across and flower spikes a foot high ? recognisably the same plant, but on a different scale. There were also spectacular (and huge) Anthuriums (with the decorative coloured leaf and upright stamen) in a variety of colours, 6 foot high pink ginger lilies and beautiful Heliconia, amongst much else...
