by Sabrina Wallace - Dec 5, 2025

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at Bass Concert Hall dazzles with flawless tech, lush visuals, and choreography that hits like a burst of joy. The cast shines, the magic lands, and the nostalgia is real. Just be ready to chat with your kids about the story’s dated messaging. Spectacle soars, but the morals need a closer look.

Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at The Fisher Theatre
by Emily Schenk - Oct 3, 2025

A tale as old as time has been reimagined for the stage; Beauty and the Beast returns to Detroit at the Fisher Theater now through October 12. The story we all know in love is performing on stage through October 12. Get your tickets here. Beauty and the Beast is a story of falling in love with someone for who they are inside, not judging a book by its cover. This show, based on the classic 1991 animated film, was also the first Broadway production for Disney. I loved seeing the show reimagined in a new way.

by Michael Rabice - Aug 21, 2025

'Tale as old as time,' the lyric goes in the heart warming production of Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST now playing at Shea's Buffalo Theatre. I knew I was in good hands when the sparkling new production of the beloved classic begins with Angela Lansbury's voice reciting the story that has captured children's minds for years.

Review: DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST THE MUSICAL at Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis

There’s something surreal about sitting in a packed Orpheum Theatre, surrounded by kids in Belle dresses and adults mouthing lyrics under their breath, watching a story you’ve known since forever unfold with so much earnestness it almost disarms you. This new touring production of Beauty and the Beast doesn’t try to rebrand the fairy tale or shake up the formula — and honestly, that might be its smartest move.
