Step
into the enchanted world of Broadway’s modern classic, Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE
BEAST. Based on the Academy Award winning animated feature, the stage version of
Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST includes all of the wonderful songs from the film,
written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, (the team responsible for
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS), plus new songs written especially for the Broadway
version by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice (ALADDIN, AIDA). Your audiences will be
transported to a lovely French provincial town where the beautiful Belle lives
with her father, a dotty inventor. When her father doesn’t return from a trip to
the local fair, Belle rushes off to find him. To her dismay, she discovers he is
being held captive in an old castle by a horrible beast. She trades her freedom
for his and the “tale as old as time” begins. How Belle tames the unfortunate
Beast and his ultimate transformation into a handsome prince continues to
enthrall audiences.
