BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Comes to the Hershey Theatre, Now thru 7/29

Disney's Beauty and the Beast, the award-winning worldwide smash hit Broadway musical, is coming to Hershey Theatre. Produced by NETworks Presentations, this elaborate theatrical production comes to life on stage from tonight, July 24 through Sunday, July 29. 

Tickets for this show start at $25 (processing fees apply) and are available at Hershey Theatre Box Office. They can be charged by phone at 717-534-3405 or online at www.HersheyTheatre.com or www.TicketMaster.com. 

Disney's Beauty and the Beast is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped in a spell placed 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. 

Director Rob Roth said, "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. We have remained very close as a team over the years of producing the show around the world, and it has been so much fun getting together to re-explore and re-invent the show for this new NETworks tour.  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." 

Disney's Beauty and the Beast 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.
