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!
Cast Size: 7 Principal Characters, plus 4 Supporting Roles and Ensemble

Beauty and the Beast Pantomime Script Excerpt
The ENSEMBLE are gathered in the Town Square. BRIAN and BEAUTY are among them.
BRIAN: (To the AUDIENCE) Hello, everybody, and welcome to our show! My name is Brian Doolally. Don’t worry, just because my name is Doolally, it doesn’t mean I’m a total idiot.
ENSEMBLE 1: (Knowingly) Well…
BRIAN: What do you mean, well?
ENSEMBLE 2: We mean, you do sometimes get things wrong.
BRIAN: Oh no I don’t…
The AUDIENCE are about to reply, but BEAUTY stops them in their tracks.
BEAUTY: Hang on, it’s way too early for that!
BRIAN: OK, I’ll admit it. I occasionally get things miscorrect. (Beat. To the AUDIENCE) The point is, while I might have an unusual name, I’m not completely flapjacks.
BEAUTY: Maybe not, but you do contain nuts!
BRIAN: Hang on… (To BEAUTY) You’re my sister, so you’re Doolally too.
BEAUTY: I’m your half-sister.
BRIAN: Then you’re half-Doolally.
Everyone laughs.
BRIAN: (To the AUDIENCE) Her real name is Belle, but we all call her Beauty on account of her gorgeous looks.
BEAUTY blushes. The ENSEMBLE swoon at her beauty.
ENSEMBLE 1: Shame he’s not really clever, then we could call them Beauty and Brains.
BEAUTY: Brian is an anagram of brain.
BRIAN: (With a misplaced confidence) But there’s no ‘I’ in brains!
ENSEMBLE 2: You mean there’s no brains in you!
BRIAN: (To the AUDIENCE) Anyway… We’ve gathered in the Town Square and are waiting for King Duncan to arrive. He’s on a royal tour of the kingdom and he’s visiting every town and city in alphabetical order.
ENSEMBLE 3: Didn’t you say that everyone should eat Alphabetti Spaghetti in alphabetical order?
BRIAN: I did not, and don’t put words in my mouth. (To the AUDIENCE) It’s especially exciting because the King is opening a new public service in the town.
ENSEMBLE 1: I remember when he opened the new public toilets.
BRIAN: Sounds like you’re having a flush-back.
ENSEMBLE 2: I remember when he opened the new casino.
BRIAN: Another royal flush!
BEAUTY: But there is a downside to the King coming to town; he’ll be after the rent!
BRIAN: I forgot about that. Mum won’t be happy if the rent is due. She can only just afford our pet budgie.
BEAUTY: What?
BRIAN: She said it’s going cheep!
