 Beauty Beast

Originally directed by Robert Jess Roth

Originally Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions

 

 

~ Directed by Travis House ~

 

The Brainy and Beautiful Belle yearns to escape her provincial life...and her brute of a suitor, Gaston. However, Belle gets more adventurous than she wanted when she becomes a captive in the Beast's enchanted castle! Dancing flatware, menacing wolves, and singing furniture fill the stage with thrills in this beloved fairy tale about very different people finding strength in one another and learning how to love.
