A TALE AS OLD AS TIME
Once upon a time in a far away land… A prince is cursed by a powerful spell that can only be broken by true love. A young woman searches for adventure in books as an escape from the simplicity of her provincial life. And a castle full of enchanted objects dream of becoming human again! Under the glow of the magical rose, can Belle and the Beast learn to love - and be loved - before the last petal falls?
This holiday season comes experience the dazzling spectacle and beauty of Disney's most popular musical. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated film, this beloved fairy-tale musical quickly became a Broadway classic—running for over 13 years and earning nine Tony Award nominations. This all-new WCT production is filled with wonder, romance, and stirring songs.
