Step into the enchanted world of Broadway's classic, Disney's Beauty and the
Beast, an international sensation that has been produced in 37 countries
worldwide. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage
version 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.
The original Broadway production ran for over thirteen years and was nominated
for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the
Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If
the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be
transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not
learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
This "tale as old as time" brings the entire
community together for family theater at its best.
