“A delightful musical with a timeless message!” The Argonaut. It’s the 30th anniversary production of the Rudie-DeCarlo original musical, a heart-warming adaptation of the French tale that celebrates the magic, romance, humor and grandeur of a timeless era, touching your heart, and indeed, almost your fingertips as you follow Beauty on her journey through the world of manners, reading, sensitivity, gentility, and the pros and cons of washing behind your ears. “The brightest, most intelligent, not to mention goofiest family theatre in town!” LA Parent. Set in a fantasy Medieval milieu "long, long ago," a lovely and spirited Beauty molds herself a most endearing, and definitely un-scary, Beast. Written and directed by Chris DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie, and features Pahlag Avakian, Holly Gibson, Michala Peltz, Megan Wright, Theødor Dronen and Devin Ricklef as Beauty’s adorable Beast. Birthday parties, hosted by gaily-costumed fairytale characters, are available with every performance.
