Let's take a look at what's on across the North East for kids and teens this month.......
Beauty & the Beast at Newcastle Theatre Royal
Northern Ballet's Beauty & the Beast is showing at Newcastle Theatre Royal until 11 November. It's a gorgeous show with stunning costumes, out of this world dancing and of course a fabulous live orchestra too. I loved that there were some comedy moments too - I wasn't expecting that. The show is packed with drama and emotion.
