The KD Theatre Productions witnessed a cast member propose in front of the audience at their gala performance of Beauty and the Beast last night (December 27).

People ‘leapt forward’ to grab photographs of the live proposal between Bethany and Jack – Bethany’s father, Andy, is the landlord of the Drayman’s Son Micropub in Ely.
