PLOT SUMMARY
Based on the Academy-Award winning animated feature, Disney's classic "tale as old as time" is the story of Belle, a vibrant young woman in a small provincial town who finds herself trapped by an arrogant young prince who has fallen under the spell of a wicked enchantress and been transformed into a hideous Beast. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he and all of his loyal servants will be transformed back into their former selves. But time is running out; if the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity! Filled with wonderful tunes such as the lively "Be Our Guest" and the heart-warming title song, "Beauty and the Beast," this Disney masterpiece is a must-see for children of all ages!
