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.
