What did our critic think of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Orpheum Theatre Memphis?

Broadway’s original 'Belle,' Susan Egan, surprised the Beauty & the Beast tour's Kyra Belle Johnson, along with the entire North American touring company. The two Belles performed a special rendition of the titular song in Nashville. Watch the video!

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast will enchant audiences in Kansas City when it arrives at Music Hall October 28–November 2, 2025. The beloved Broadway classic will star Kyra Belle Johnson as Belle and Fergie L. Philippe as the Beast.

Based on Disney's 1991 Academy Award-winning animated film musical of the same name as well as Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont’s classic French fairy tale. Beauty & the Beast follows Belle, a bright, beautiful young woman who doesn't seem to fit in with her village.
