We're a great place to express yourself and make friends. Come try us! Bring a friend! ABOUT THE SHOW Talking candlesticks, an enchanted rose, and dancing tableware?! It's a race against the clock: the petals of the enchanted rose are falling, and an angry mob is storming the castle door... will the curse be broken before the last petal falls and the Beast and his household are doomed for all eternity? This classic tale of spiritual awakening and personal metamorphosis challenges Belle and the Beast - and all of us - to re-think our definitions of love, beauty and inclusion. Based on the French fairy tale "La Belle et le Bête" by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, this classic story has countless adaptations, including two incredible Disney films, featuring music and lyrics by the Tony Award-winning team of Alan Menken, Tim Rice, and the late Howard Ashman. This is our extravagant holiday show for the entire family's enjoyment! It runs for four whole weekends and is sure to sell out - get your tickets soon! Book by Linda Woolverton Music by Alan Menken Lyrics by Howard Ashman & Tim Rice Belle Belle is kind, gentle, and beautiful-but with an important 21st Century twist. She is a strong, intelligent, spirited and an independent young woman. Belle is the moral conscience of the story, elevated by her thoughts and deeds. The maturity and depth of her character allow her to see the true beauty and spirit within The Beast, and to love him for it. The Beast The Beast's tortured soul is evident for all to see. He is paying the ultimate price for a moment of mean-spiritedness, and wishes beyond wishing that he could rectify his mistake. There is anger and menace in The Beast's appearance and behavior, but increasingly we see his soft and endearing side as he interacts with Belle. It becomes clear that he is a loving, feeling, human being trapped within a hideous creature's body. Gaston Gaston is the absolute antithesis of The Beast. Although he is physically handsome, he is shallow, completely self-centered, not very bright, and thrives on attention. However, when his ego is bruised he becomes a very dangerous foe for The Beast, Belle and Maurice. Lefou Lefou is Gaston's dim-witted, servile sidekick. He goes to extraordinary lengths and suffers repeated humiliation in his efforts to please his master. Maurice Despite being a bit scatter-brained, there is no mistaking Maurice's steadfast love for his daughter Belle. Kind, gentle, enthusiastic and inventive, he becomes single-minded and determined when Belle faces danger. Lumiere Lumiere is the French butler who was transformed into a Candelabrum. He is light-hearted, suave, romantic, smooth-talking, and charming. He has a romantic involvement with Babette. This character speaks with a French accent. Cogsworth Cogsworth is a tightly-wound, enchanted mantle clock and the head of the Beast's household. He is a stuffy English man who loves perfection. Babette Babette is a saucy, enchanted feather-duster, and the object of Lumiere's affections. Mrs. Potts Mrs. Potts is a warm-hearted, maternal enchanted teapot. Chip Chip is an inquisitive little teacup who is the son of Mrs. Potts. Madame De LaGrande Bouche Madame is a former opera diva turned enchanted wardrobe. Three Silly Girls The silly girls are three pretty young maids who swoon over Gaston. Ensemble The Ensemble will play multiple characters, including Townspeople and Enchanted Objects
