As the curtain rises on this family favorite which is based on Disney's Academy-Award winning animated feature, audiences will be swept into the heart of provincial life in a lovely French town and then be transported into a mysterious and magical castle where objects come to life, a Beast lurks, and a Beauty finds true love!  The show will feature all of the favorite characters from the movie plus all of the favorites songs as well.  

The production will be directed by Lisa Marie French of Madison.  French who began her career as a professional dancer with McGill Danse of Montreal, Quebec, has choreographed and directed for community theater, high schools, colleges and more.
