The Argyle Theatre to Present BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in November
The cast features Hana Culbreath as Belle and Leland Burnett as Beast.
The Argyle Theatre will present Disney's Beauty and The Beast, directed by Evan Pappas, choreographed and co-directed by Debbie Roshe with musical direction by Jonathan Brenner. It will perform from November 10, 2022, through January 1, 2023; the opening night will be celebrated on Saturday, November 12, 2022.
Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all of the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. The original Broadway production ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end, and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
"This is a year of celebration at the Argyle; we have chosen four amazing shows that our audiences will love. And what better way to kick off the new season with the magic of Disney's Beauty and The Beast."
Argyle Theatre's Artistic Director, Evan Pappas.
