The plot of this stage musical is nothing new, especially for the generation that will likely take their children to see it. Following the script of the 1991 Disney movie, the musical tells of kind-hearted country girl Belle, who is tasked with caring for a selfish prince trapped by magic in the body of a beast. To break the spell, Belle must teach the prince to love others. What makes this musical special are the award-winning creative elements that have brought broad acclaim to this stage adaptation, which has been performed for more than 35 million people in 13 countries. The Broadway musical draws on Disney's original Academy Award-winning score and songs by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, with a few new songs added to the mix. Brightening the stage is Ann Hould-Ward's Tony Award-winning costume design, and making it all come alive is L.A. Drama-Logue Award-winning choreography by Matt West. (Katherine Pioli)
