Synopsis

In 18th century France a vain prince is cursed by a witch when he refuses her shelter because of her appearance. Trapped within the body of a beast, and with his household staff transformed into objects, the prince’s only hope for salvation is to find someone who will love him despite his monstrous form. Meanwhile Belle, a book-loving young woman living in a small village yearns for broader horizons. When her beloved father gets lost and accidentally ends up a prisoner in the Beast’s castle, Belle selflessly offers herself in his place – and unwittingly opens up an opportunity to change her life, and perhaps the Beast’s destiny too. This charming retelling of the traditional tale adds more back story to the well-known characters, and some new songs alongside the beloved classics.
