You will meet Gaston’s wicked mother who casts a spell on the price to ensure that her son is the fairest in the land; when she hears the news of his rejection she creates an evil plan which in return forces Belle to run away and stumble upon the Beast’s castle where you will meet the loveable characters Miss Potts and Lumiere.

The Northern Echo:

The Floyd Effect - The Pink Floyd Tribute Show, The Majestic Theatre, Darlington on Saturday, 7pm

Having toured since 2007, The Floyd Effect has become rightly renowned for the remarkable accuracy with which it performs the iconic music of Pink Floyd.

All of the band’s members are top quality musicians with pedigrees that stretch across all manner of musical genres, and they faithfully recreate the music and intensity of a Pink Floyd concert without recourse to backing tracks, racks of computers, or other technological wizardry. Every note that you hear is played and sung by the band, making each concert a genuine ‘live’ experience, powerful, immersive and emotional.

And, of course, the music is supported by a dramatic light show that incorporates the iconic circular screen, two sets of projections, smoke and lasers. Performing their “Toward The Dark Side (And Beyond” tour in 2017.
