Ever a surprise, Beauty And The Beast The Musical, based on the much-loved animated film which won two Oscars for its soaring score and title number, will tour the UK and Ireland, with stars new and old.
The Disney hierarchy in New York and London have cast Courtney Stapleton, 27, as Belle, the independent young woman (and bookworm) who discovers, in a tale as old as time, that she and the enchanted Beast can be more than just friends.
Stapleton has previously appeared in Six, Dear Evan Hansen, Les Miserables, Mamma Mia! and Bat Out Of Hell.

Creamerie, which also stars JJ Fong, Kimberley Crossman and Rachel House, is the first New Zealand series Ryan has worked on in a while.

It would make him the second Welshman to take on
the iconic role, following Timothy Dalton.
In an interview with The Mirror, he said: I think I ve cut my teeth very well in movies I ve done and I ve enjoyed every second of it. It s a phenomenal job, a phenomenal franchise, an incredible role. I have to say though, it s a daunting task for any actor to play the role after Daniel Craig. No one knows what s happening.
