The cast includes Kaitlyn Yott as Belle, Sean Donnelly as Beast/Prince, Paul Rowell as Antoine, Robert Newcombe as Smelle, Barrie Mills as Claude, Clive Ramroop as Prince Dobbin, Tammy Theis as Pierre, Jeff Christensen as Sneaker, Rosemary Forst as Bossy, Samantha Andrews as Goody, Adam Olgui as Pepe, Adrian Duncan as the Town Crier and Elisabeth Olsson as the Little Girl.
