INTRODUCTION
A mini-version of Disney’s 30th animated classic, Beauty and the Beast, Live on Stage, features the popular characters and songs from the film in a lavish, Broadway-caliber production.
Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage is performed in the Theater of the Stars, located on Sunset Boulevard.
ATTRACTION
Beauty and the Beast — From the popular “Be Our Guest” to the moving strains of “Tale as old as time…” this 25-minute show mirrors the film upon which it’s based. It tells the story of Belle, a beautiful but bookish girl who lives in a small French town. She is pursued by the macho Gaston, to her dismay, for she yearns for a different life. Her father, Maurice, stumbles upon the enchanted castle of the Beast, and, to free him, Belle offers herself as prisoner in his stead. Under the anxious eyes of Mrs. Potts, Lumiere and Cogsworth, among others, Belle grows to love the Beast and, despite the efforts of the townspeople led by the jilted Gaston, the couple manages a fairy tale ending.
The show does a great job of condensing the film into an upbeat 25 minute version, that any Beauty and the Beast fan will enjoy!
