Beauty and the Beast, as it is known today, comes from a French adaptation of a story found in many ancient cultures with influence from Africa, Europe and Asia. The story's heroine, Belle, lives near an enchanted and forgotten French castle whose resident prince has been turned into a beast as punishment for his selfish nature. She teaches the beast that if he can learn to love and be loved in return, the spell will be broken. This timeless tale asks the audience to consider two key lessons: show respect for others and look beyond what you see. Will Belle break the spell? Will the prince learn to love? Will they live happily ever after? All of these questions and more will be answered in this enchanting musical with a memorable score.
