Beauty and the Beast Pantomime Script
Home > Pantomime Scripts > Scripts for Small Casts > Beauty and the Beast
Every Beauty and the Beast has a Beast. This one tells you who cursed him, and she is still out there.
When Dame Dotty Doolally goes after the King's reward for rescuing his son, the Beast offers her a bargain he has no intention of keeping, her son Brian proves Doolally by nature as well as by name, and the castle staff turn out to be the furniture.
Billy Bookcase, Chester Drawers, Trey Table, and Cassio the clock are four proper cameo parts, and Trey appears from so many different places in the table that your audience will spend the scene guessing where he's next.
It's a tale as old as time, with a twist!

Beauty and the Beast Pantomime Script Excerpt
DAME DOTTY and BRIAN are onstage. Some of the ENSEMBLE enter excitedly.
ENSEMBLE 1: Is he here?
DOTTY: Is who here?
ENSEMBLE 2: The King.
DOTTY: You just missed him.
BRIAN: But he said he’d be back.
DOTTY: Yes, for the rent!
ENSEMBLE 3: Oh dear, you’re always short on cash.
DOTTY: I certainly am. Just this morning I got a letter from the bank saying I’m in debt. The bill was so large I thought it was a pelican!
ENSEMBLE 2: I heard that the King fancies you, Dame Dotty.
DOTTY: Oh come off it, he would never fancy me.
ENSEMBLE 3: Why ever not? You’re pretty, positive and passionate.
DOTTY: I’m pretty positive I’m poor!
ENSEMBLE 1: But what if you did marry the King? Think of all the money you’d have!
ENSEMBLE 3: He’s got so much money he could fill a swimming pool.
BRIAN: That’s one way to splash the cash!
DOTTY: That’s all very well, but right now I’m completely broke.
ENSEMBLE 2: Surely you’ve got something stashed away for a rainy day?
DOTTY: Nope, I spent it on an umbrella. The only pounds I’ve got are round my waistline.
ENSEMBLE 1: It can’t be that bad.
BRIAN: It is, we can’t even afford to go to the toilet.
Everyone looks confused.
DOTTY: What?
BRIAN: We've not got the money to spend a penny!
DOTTY: Silly jokes and wishful thinking wont make us rich.
BRIAN: But can’t we just pretend, just for five minutes?
DOTTY: No.
BRIAN: Why not?
DOTTY: Can’t afford it.
Everyone groans. DAME DOTTY finally gives in.
DOTTY: Alright, I suppose a bit of financial daydreaming can’t hurt.
ENSEMBLE 1: If I were rich I’d buy a new TV.
ENSEMBLE 2: I’d buy a new car.
BRIAN: I’d buy two dozen carrots!
Everyone looks confused.
DOTTY: 24 carat gold?
BRIAN: Nope, I’m investing in a veg-fund!
