Disney’s Beauty and the Beast

Music by Alan Menken Lyrics by Howard Ashman & Tim Rice Book by Linda Woolverton Directed by Eric Tucker
June 8 – October 15, 2017 Allen Elizabethan Theatre

Learning to see with the eyes of the heart

Belle is lovely, but her bookishness and longing for a life beyond her provincial village set her apart from everyone she knows. Gaston, the town heartthrob, wants her because she’s the most beautiful girl around. But when her father runs afoul of a terrifying beast—a cursed prince who must win a woman’s love if he’s ever to become human again—Belle embarks on a strange, bittersweet journey. Think you know the Disney musical? Think again. Expect originality, surprises and ingenuity in OSF’s gorgeous and powerful new rendition.

Show length is approximately 2 hours, 30 minutes including one intermission.

Belle is lovely, but her bookishness and longing for a life beyond her provincial village set her apart from everyone she knows. Gaston, the town heartthrob, wants her because she’s the most beautiful girl around. But when her father runs afoul of a terrifying beast—a cursed prince who must win a woman’s love if he’s ever to become human again— Belle bravely offers to save her father by taking his place. Belle and the Beast embark on an emotional journey that is by turns dangerous and romantic. 

Expect originality, surprises and ingenuity in a gorgeous re-envisioned production that will bring out the darker nuances of the fairy tale while still remaining a delightful treat for younger audiences.

Aprendiendo a ver con los ojos del corazón

Bella es hermosa, pero su afición a la lectura y su anhelo de una vida fuera de su pueblo provincial la separan de todos los que conoce. Gastón, el galán del pueblo, la quiere por ser la muchacha más bella del pueblo. Pero cuando el padre de Bella se mete con una bestia espantosa - un príncipe hechizado que tiene que ganarse el amor de una mujer para volver a ser humano – Bella emprende un viaje extraño y agridulce. ¿Crees conocer la obra musical de Disney? Piénsalo de nuevo. Espera la originalidad, las sorpresas y el ingenio en la espléndida y potente rendición nueva de OSF.

Idoneidad la originalidad, las sorpresas y el ingenio en una espléndida producción re-imaginada que descubrirá los elementos un poco más oscuros del cuento de hadas, mientras sigue siendo un deleite delicioso para los públicos más jóvenes.
