Featuring Alan Menken's iconic soundtrack that includes classics like 'Be Our Guest' and 'Beauty and the Beast', the show is a truly unique theatrical experience, and an absolute must for any fans of the original Disney film.
The structure and tone of the story and score made Beauty and the Beast an instant hit upon its 1991 cinematic debut, making Disney history as one of the company's first films to present its narrative in the form of a stage musical.
After the original film became the first animated film ever nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture, Beauty and the Beast opened on Broadway in April 1994, earning nine Tony nominations and winning one.
After 13 consecutive years on stage, the production remains among the top ten longest-running shows in Broadway history. Its West End production, which debuted in 1997, has been performed to more than two million people to date.
We're here to brighten up your Monday morning with this exclusive rehearsal footage of the @BeautyMusical cast! ???? They are all working hard to bring you the beloved ‘tale as old as time’ from Wed 25 Aug - Sat 18 Sep.
