The original Broadway production ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Review of "Red Ash Mosaic" at Cleveland Public Theatre
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 04 Jun '17

04 Jun '17

CPT’s haunting ‘Red Ash Mosaic’ takes a deep dive into poetic theater Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics “… indelible and idiosyncratic.” “… a wide array of styles from vast corners of the globe, often intermingled together in ingenious ways.” “… a seamless fusion of the familiar and the exotic.” “… an expression of beauty, strength and endurance, despite the grim subject matter.” These are quotes from reviews of Paul Simon’s quintuple-platinum album “Graceland” which, on the surface, have nothing whatsoever to do with Cleveland Public Theatre’s current production of “Red Ash Mosaic” – a haunting, esoteric and original experiment in theatrical form that is targeted, according to a press release, for “the bold, the curious, the brave.” For more of this article, go to www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/.
