Cumnock Academy staged a wonderful production of the Disney classic, Beauty & the Beast, in the school.

The musical show was a phenomenal success, playing to packed audiences for three consecutive nights in the week before the October break.

It starred Lyndsay Wilson as Belle with Jordan Smith as The Beast, and along with a strong and enthusiastic chorus on stage, our fantastic leading duo was brilliantly supported by a fine cast of lead characters.

They were Tamara Leitch as Belle’s father, Maurice ; Lauren Young played Belle’s suitor, Gaston, with Lucas Robinson as Le Fou.

Megan Nisbet played Mrs Potts with Steven Boyd as Chip the teacup; Jessica Robinson was Cogsworth, with Morgan Heron as the candle, Lumiere.

Rachel Murray was Babette, with Andrea McKay as the wardrobe, Madame Le Grande Bouche.

Dana Leitch played Monsieur D’Arque, and the trio of Silly Girls were played by Rachael Prentice, Christie Miller and Lisa Shanklan
