Why Families Love This Show
Based on the beloved 1991 Academy Award-winning animated film, the stage version of Beauty and the Beast premiered on Broadway in 1994 and became the 10th longest-running show in Broadway history! It's been enchanting audiences for over 30 years.
This production features all the songs you and your kids know by heart from the movie, plus additional songs written especially for the stage. From the romantic title song to the show-stopping "Be Our Guest" production number, it's a feast for the eyes and ears.
The story follows Belle, a book-loving young woman in a small French village, who finds herself in an enchanted castle where she discovers that true beauty comes from within. It's a timeless message about looking beyond appearances, the power of love, and the importance of kindness.
What Makes This Production Special
This brand-new touring production reunites members of the original Tony Award-winning creative team, including composer Alan Menken, who wrote the film's beloved score. The production features stunning costumes (the original Broadway production won a Tony for Best Costume Design!), magical scenic design, and breathtaking choreography.
Critics across the globe have called it "a delight," "exhilarating," and "witty and exuberant with breathtaking choreography."
Perfect for the Whole Family
This is an ideal introduction to live theater for younger children. Most kids ages 4 and up will be captivated by the familiar story, beautiful music, and magical stagecraft. Plus, with Halloween week performances, it makes for a perfect fall family outing!
