Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is a romantic and magical Broadway musical based on the 1991 animated film. Set in a provincial French town and an enchanted castle, the story follows Belle, a bright and independent young woman who dreams of a life beyond her small village. When her father is imprisoned by a mysterious Beast in a magical castle, Belle offers herself in exchange for his freedom.

The Beast, a prince cursed to live in monstrous form until he learns to love and be loved in return, slowly begins to change through Belle’s influence. As she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff — including Lumière, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Chip — Belle discovers that true beauty lies within. Meanwhile, the arrogant hunter Gaston schemes to force Belle into marriage and destroy the Beast.

Featuring music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and a book by Linda Woolverton, the musical includes classic songs like “Be Our Guest,” “Gaston,” and the titular “Beauty and the Beast,” along with new songs written for the stage. Lavish costumes, elaborate sets, and heartfelt storytelling bring this timeless tale to life in a celebration of love, transformation, and redemption.
