It’s the 20th anniversary production of the celebrated Rudie-DeCarlo musical, an excitingly heart-warming adaptation of the original French tale. This first Holiday show of the season, with a grand festive opening on Halloween Eve, introduces audiences to a lively, lovely and spirited Beauty and a most endearing Beast, offering a rose garden of a thousand and one delights, replete with dizzily ditzy sisters, a sweetly sensitive sire, a spell-binding sorceress and a flamboyantly foppish suitor, who all inadvertently or intentionally strew more than a few thorns along Beauty and her Beast’s path. But true loves wins out, allowing them to find a happily-ever-after that leaves all who are young at heart breathless. “A delightful musical with a timeless message” (The Argonaut). Festive Birthday and Tea Parties for adults and young people are offered with every performance.
