Disney's first foray into
theatrical production became Broadway's sixth longest
running show of all time. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is a
worldwide stage success which launched Disney's
theatrical division and led to the recreation of other
beloved Disney films on stage.
Disney's BEAUTY AND
THE BEAST is the musical stage adaptation of the
company's hit animated feature from 1991, featuring Alan
Menken's Academy Award-winning score, songs by the late
Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (including the Academy
Award-winning title song and the show-stopping 'Be Our
Guest'), plus songs written especially for the stage by
Alan Menken and Tim Rice (including 'If I Can't Love
Her' and 'A Change In Me'). The book is by Linda Woolverton, author of the original screenplay.
The show originally opened on April 18th, 1994 at the
Palace Theatre on Broadway and transferred to London's
Dominion Theatre from May 1997 to December 1999. It has
toured both the United States and the UK.
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST brings us the fabled Disney magic,
charm and enchantment for the whole family.
