Spectacle that kids will adore

FROM flying motorbikes to the most spectacular costumes and snappy one-liners, the King's seemingly has it all.

And wide-eyed children would certainly agree that Beauty and the Beast is a truly magical experience.

But, for me, it lacked heart and it was all a bit too formulaic.

Don't get me wrong, it is a captivating piece of theatre when viewed through the eyes of a child and the two who accompanied me adored it.

But it just felt very samey, right down to the toilet rolls thrown "by accident" into the audience during the 12 Days of Christmas (with a Glasgow edge) routine.
