Stars of Beauty and the Beast talk about Indy production
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, the award-winning worldwide smash hit Broadway musical, is returning to Indianapolis as a season option of the Broadway in Indianapolis series. Produced by NETworks Presentations, this elaborate theatrical production will come to life on stage at the Clowes Memorial Hall for 5 performances only from May 1 through May 3.
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast features the Academy Award®-winning score with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by the late Howard Ashman, with additional songs composed by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice. The book is written by Linda Woolverton.
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped in a spell placed by an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
