Beauty and the Beast
Location: Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, 205 W. 46th St., New York
Hours: Tue - Sat 8pm, Wed & Sat 2pm, Sun 3pm
Admission: Varies
Beauty and the Beast is the tender, typically-Disney story of an intelligent
and lovely young lady (Belle) who unwillingly winds up in the fortress of the
Beast, who, in reality, is a selfish prince who’s less-than-humble ways have
caused him to be in this state.
If you saw the animated Disney hit of the same name, you know the story.
But the musical brings it to life, with an excellent cast and beautiful songs,
most taken from the movie, with a few new ones added especially for the Broadway
show.
The sets are breathtaking and the costumes lovely.
The actors are top-notch, with many famous female singers/actresses having assumed
the role of Belle during the show’s run on Broadway, which commenced more than a
dozen yeas ago.
Since Disney has come to Broadway, family theater is a reality. Parents with young
children can bring their kids to New York to enjoy musicals like Beauty and the Beast
without any concern about content or language. This show is truly an exceptional theatrical
adventure for the whole family.
Use New York City kids and make New York City fun for the kids...and you!
