This year stars on stage for Beauty and the Beast will include Leeds favourite and panto veteran, Jez Edwards, returning for his 15th Carriageworks panto as the hilarious Philippe Philoppe. Jez will share the stage with his wife, Gemma Edwards, who plays the villainous Mauvaise. The couple first met on the Carriageworks stage 15 years ago in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. This year’s production also stars real-life couple Kristel Herrera and Joshua Mumby as Belle and the Beast.
