Carrick-on-Suir Musical Society has chosen its 2027 show
Carrick MS will stage Beauty and the Beast at the Strand Theatre next April
Musical theatre fans will be thrilled to learn that Carrick-on-Suir Musical Society will stage the hugely popular musical Beauty and the Beast next year.
The Society has announced the hit Broadway musical, based on the 1991 Disney animated film of the same name, will be its 2027 annual show.
The show, featuring famous songs like Be Our Guest and Beauty and the Beast, will be staged at the Strand Theatre in Carrick-on-Suir between April 10 and 17 next year. Rehearsals begin in November.
Andrew Holden will be the director, while Henry Fitzgerald will be choreographer. The show’s chorus master will be Eamon O’Malley and the musical director will be Fergal Carroll. John O’Donoghue will be over set design, while Alan McCormack will be over lighting design for the production.
The announcement comes just over a month after Carrick Musical Society staged its 2026 show – Man of La Mancha – over seven nights at the Strand Theatre.
That show starred Neill Bourke in the lead roles of Cervantes and Don Quixote and Louise Russell as Aldonza/Dolcine.
