From the creators of the Offie award-nominated Six Wives of Henry VIII, the 2024 show of the year (StageTalk) There’s Something About Typhoid Mary and the “beguiling rib-tickler” (The Times) Living Spit’s Frankenstein The Musical comes a re-worked, monstrously-musical, Disney-defying version of this classic French tale about what it means to be truly beautiful in the 18th century.

“Living Spit’s deadpan, well-seasoned repartee pays dividends in this playfully updated version of the 18th century French fable.”

– The Telegraph

“A well-loved tale, told with warm-hearted silliness and wit, gently reminding us that beauty is more than meets the eye.”

– Intermission

“Rollicking good fun – deserves a standing ovation every night.”
