Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at The Fisher Theatre
by Emily Schenk - Oct 3, 2025
A tale as old as time has been reimagined for the stage; Beauty and the Beast returns to Detroit at the Fisher Theater now through October 12. The story we all know in love is performing on stage through October 12. Get your tickets here. Beauty and the Beast is a story of falling in love with someone for who they are inside, not judging a book by its cover. This show, based on the classic 1991 animated film, was also the first Broadway production for Disney. I loved seeing the show reimagined in a new way.

Review: DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Shea's Buffalo Theatre
by Michael Rabice - Aug 21, 2025
'Tale as old as time,' the lyric goes in the heart warming production of Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST now playing at Shea's Buffalo Theatre. I knew I was in good hands when the sparkling new production of the beloved classic begins with Angela Lansbury's voice reciting the story that has captured children's minds for years. It was a lovely touch to settle into the familiar story, hearing the voice of Mrs. Potts from the Disney animated film beckon us.
