ABOUT THE SHOW
Step into the enchanted world of Broadway's modern classic based on the Academy-Award winning animated feature! The stage version of Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST includes all of the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice.
When Maurice becomes lost in the woods on the way to the fair, he seeks shelter in an old castle, but the master of the castle is a horrible beast that takes him captive. Maurice's daughter, Belle, must then give up her freedom to save his life. Belle's taming of the unfortunate Beast and his ultimate transformation back into a handsome prince enthralled Broadway audiences for over 13 years.
This "tale as old as time" is filled with spectacular costumes and sets as teapots, clocks, candlesticks, wardrobes, and just about everything else that you might find in an enchanted castle comes to life.
