Experience a beloved tale as old as time with Live Oak Theatre’s brand new and exciting production of Disney’s timeless stage masterpiece Beauty and the Beast.
Disney’s Broadway classic “Beauty and the Beast” is a family musical based on the 1991 Academy Award-winning animated film. Beauty and the Beast follows a young woman who stumbles upon a secluded castle occupied by a monstrous beast and a host of enchanted objects trying to break a witch’s spell before it is too late.
It’s a classic romantic story about finding love in unexpected places and has won the hearts of countless audiences worldwide. The musical is filled with unforgettable characters, imaginative sets and costumes, and breath-taking production numbers. Most roles are shared by two casts.
Disney’s stage musical features music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and the book by Linda Woolverton. Adapted from Walt Disney Pictures’ animated film Beauty and the Beast – which in turn had been based on the fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast” by French author Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont.
All songs from the animated film were reused in the musical, including a resurrected musical number that had been cut from the motion picture. Original songwriter Menken composed six new songs for the production alongside lyricist Tim Rice.
