Stirling Stella is not a happy place. The recession is STILLin full force and Bunty Buntock is concerned about her twochildren, Belle and Sebastian... Belle is sick of men -especially her psycho-ex Gaston, who keeps slapping histhighs and declaring Belle his prize. All Belle wants is herequal (oh and to win the Stirling Stella Showchoircompetition). Sebastian is tired of being the silly billy, if onlythe local evil witch Valentina Rizzla would notice him. Andthink on poor Prince Matthew Creepy-Crawley, confined tothe ground of Bouffin Abbey. He used to be the heart-throbof Stirling Stella, and now thanks to an evil curse he’sscarier than Bigfoot. Who would know that a stolenrose - and a Showchoir final - would change their livesforever. The greatest love story in the pantosphere asyou've never heard it before. Part Grease, part DowntonAbbey and a whole lot of fun!
