Sarah Uriarte Berry will once again play Belle in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, beginning on September 19. She will join the show the same day that pop music star Donny Osmond steps into the role of Gaston for a nine-week run.

In addition to her previous stint as Belle, Berry has starred on Broadway in The Light in the Piazza, Taboo, and Les Miserables. She played the title role in the New York City Opera production of Cinderella, and appeared in the City Center Encores! productions of The Boys From Syracuse and Tenderloin. Her many regional and national tour credits include Carousel, Sunset Boulevard, Violet, Thoroughly Modern Millie, West Side Story, and The Sound of Music.

As of that date, Beauty and the Beast will feature Steve Blanchard as the Beast, Stuart Marland as Lumiere, Jeanne Lehman as Mrs. Potts, Christopher Duva as Cogsworth, Jamie Ross as Maurice, Meredith Inglesby as Babette, Mary Stout as Madame de la Grande Bouche, and Aldrin Gonzalez as Lefou. Trevor Braun and Marlon Sherman alternate the role of Chip. It is currently the sixth longest-running show of all time.
