Hailed as Disney’s most popular musical of all time, the stage adaptation of Beauty and the Beast is a true international sensation, captivating over 35 million people worldwide.

A terrible hex has transformed a handsome prince into a monstrous Beast, and the spell can only be broken if he finds his one true love before the last petal falls off an enchanted rose. He meets his match in a strong-willed young woman named Belle, the daughter of an eccentric local inventor. But can the Beauty tame the Beast and see the truth beneath his physical appearance before time runs out?

With stirring musical numbers like “Be Our Guest,” “Something There,” and the Academy Award-winning title song, Beauty and the Beast underscores the redemptive power of love with a charming story that will warm your heart and affirm your faith in miracles.

Beauty and the Beast is a terrific theatre experience for all ages, especially during the holidays,” says Mustakas. “With its magical story, charming characters and memorable music, Beauty and the Beast will keep the entire family entertained from start to finish.”

A “tale as old as time”, Beauty and the Beast has truly stood the test of time. After the wildly successful animated film in 1991, Disney launched the live stage production in 1994 to great acclaim on Broadway, where it ran for more than 13 years followed by numerous national and international tours. The live action film adaptation was released last week in movie theatres and continues to break numerous Box Office records globally, attesting to the story’s continued and universal popularity.
