Disney’s Beauty and the Beast

Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Howard Ashman & Tim Rice
Book by Linda Woolverton

Once upon a Town…there was an enchanted castle filled with dancing spoons, a talking teapot and a troubled Beast. Along came a beauty named Belle who desired more out of her provincial town than an ordinary existence. How Belle handles the advances of the pompous Gaston, learns to love the castle’s enchanted objects and, unbeknownst to her, works to tame the Beast, is wrapped in melodious tunes and unbelievable spectacle.

In response to audience demand, Town brings this “tale as old as time” back to its stage. The role of Belle is taken by Kristina Kusa (The Sound of Music). Her beauty (both in and out) catches the eye of the Beast, portrayed by Greg Pipkin (Jekyll & Hyde; A Toast to Town). Reprising his role from the show’s debut is Jason Kinsey as the arrogant Gaston with Lefou, played by Jamie Harrington (Something’s Afoot), chomping at his heels. Norman Arendell, in his Town debut, embodies Belle’s lovable father, Maurice.

In the Beast’s enchanted castle, audiences will meet Mrs. Potts and her son, Chip, played by Jennifer Morse, in her Town debut, and Katharine Thordahl (Peter Pan), respectively. George Dinsmore (The Buddy Holly Story) illuminates the stage as Lumiere and creates mayhem with Lee O. Smith (Guys & Dolls) in the role of Cogsworth, the tightly-wound, enchanted mantle clock. The cast of more than 60 is complete with high-kicking napkins, serenading spoons and even a cheese or two! So, Be Our Guest as we bring the Beast back to Town!
