Face Productions’ highly anticipated summer show, Legally Blonde, appears at the Shouson Theatre, Hong Kong Arts Centre, from 4 – 7 June. The hilarious Broadway and MTV smash-hit musical, inspired the novel and the 2001 Hollywood movie of the same name, tells the story of blonde bombshell Elle Woods as she embarks on a journey to win back her ambitious boyfriend Warner. Captain of Delta Nu Sorority at UCLA, tireless advocate of the colour pink, and proud parent of Bruiser the chihuahua, Elle is left broken-hearted when Warner dumps her in favour of finding someone more “serious”.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast @ The Venetian Theatre – 13 June – 26 July, 2015

Beauty

This is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped in a spell placed by an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity. This international tour will see the show’s original Broadway creative team reuniting to bring this Broadway classic to life. The musical is directed by Rob Roth and choreographed by Matt West, with costume design by Ann Hould-Ward (Tony Award® winner for her work on Disney’s Beauty and the Beast). Based on the 1991 Academy-Award winning animated feature film, the show had run for 13 years on Broadway.
