BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Comes To The Van Wezel 2/7-9
Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, the award-winning worldwide smash hit Broadway musical, is coming to the VAN WEZEL PERFORMING ARTS HALL on Mon., Tues. & Wed. February 7, 8, & 9 at 7:00 p.m.
Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is the classic story of Belle, a beautiful and intellectual young woman trapped in a provincial town, and the Beast-- a young prince trapped in a horrible body by a spell cast by an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to 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.
Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST has become an international sensation that has played to over 35 million people worldwide, in 21 countries. The original creators of the Broadway production are together again for this new touring production, with direction by Rob Roth, choreography by Matt West, and Costume Design by Ann Hould-Ward (Tony Award® winner for her work on Disney's Beauty and the Beast). The show features the animated film's Academy Award®-winning score with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by the late Howard Ashman, with additional songs with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice, and book written by Linda Woolverton.
Director Rob Roth says, "It has been wonderful to bring the entire original design team back together to work on this new production of Beauty and the Beast. As a director, it is rare to have the opportunity to revisit your work fifteen years later. Hopefully I've grown and developed as an artist, along with my collaborators, and we can bring 15 years of experience to this new production. The theme of 'Beauty' is about seeing past the exterior into the heart of someone, and this is reflected in the design for the show, which is about transparency and layers, seeing past one thing and into another."
