Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Spoiled, selfish and unkind, the prince turns away an enchantress, who is disguised as a beggar woman. As punishment, she transforms the prince into a Beast and places a powerful spell on the castle and all who live there are transformed into household objects.

To release the spell he must learn to love, and be loved in return, before the last petal falls from an enchanted rose.

With time fast running out, a mad inventor stumbles upon the castle and becomes the Beast’s prisoner. When the inventor’s beautiful daughter comes looking for him, the Beast is offered his last, and best chance at redemption…

This touching story, in the hands of Disney, became an award winning animated film and one of the longest running and highest grossing Broadway hits of all time. Children young and old will be enthralled by this charming and lavish production.
