Based on Disney's Academy Award-winning 1991 animated film, Beauty and the Beast premiered on Broadway in 1994. The production received nine Tony Award nominations and won Best Costume Design, going on to become one of Broadway's longest-running productions.
The musical features Alan Menken's Academy Award-winning score, with songs by Menken and Howard Ashman, including the title song and "Be Our Guest." Additional songs written for the stage by Menken and Tim Rice include "If I Can't Love Her" and "A Change in Me." Linda Woolverton, who wrote the screenplay for the animated film, penned the musical's book.
