WELCOME TO BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!

In 1994, Beauty and the Beast opened at the Palace Theatre, becoming Disney’s first
Broadway musical. In its over 25-year history, the show has played all over the world,
transcending language and culture. From professional productions to community
theatres to high school auditoriums, Beauty and the Beast has become a timeless classic for
performers and audiences of all ages.

Over the years, the show has gone through many changes in both song and book and has
been produced in a range of venues and with varying budgets. What remains true in every
production is the rich and emotional story about the healing power of love. Just as the Beast
learns to love another, Belle’s journey leads her to see beyond the exterior into someone’s
heart. If your production focuses on the emotional relationships and core themes of love and
acceptance, it will resonate with any audience.

One of the most rewarding parts of producing Beauty and the Beast is the opportunity for
performers and designers to bring to life these iconic, beloved characters. We encourage all
directors to think expansively when casting the show. This fairy tale welcomes performers of
all identities and backgrounds and can serve as a model of inclusion in your community.
