Be Our Guest at Disney’s newly reimagined 30th Anniversary production of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, the breathtaking musical filled with the romance and grandeur audiences know and love.
This enchanting and timeless tale has been brought to life like never before, with spectacular new sets and dazzling costumes. The show boasts the Oscar®-winning and Tony Award®-nominated score, including the classic songs “Be Our Guest” and “Beauty and the Beast.”
Reuniting to create this new production are members of the original Tony Award®-winning artistic team, including composer Alan Menken, lyricist Tim Rice, book writer Linda Woolverton, with direction and choreography by Olivier Award nominee Matt West, scenic design by Stanley A. Meyer, costume design by Ann Hould-Ward and lighting design by Natasha Katz.
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is the beloved musical that will fill your heart with joy and Disney magic.
Director and Choreographer Matt West paces this to perfection with the support of his dynamic designers and energetic ensemble! Scenic Designers Stanley A. Meyer (scenic), Natasha Katz (lighting) and Darrel Maloney (Projection/Video) team up to seamlessly take the audience from sunny village to gloomy woods to majestic fortress. The musical number “Be Our Guest” is a showstopper. Ann Hould-Ward (costumes) adds to the colorful spectacle with multiple wardrobe changes. The ensemble go from polished flatware to ruffled skirts to golden top hats. They tap. They kickline. And my favorite, they lay down on the stage. A camera captures their kaleidoscope movements for this mesmerizing dance sequence. West’s stagecraft dazzles! In the finale, Jim Steinmeyer (illusion) gives Philippe a bewitching onstage metamorphosis. In a word… magic!
Whether you’re a millennial like me who grew up watching the original Disney film or you’re looking to take young kids to their first musical, this is a wonderful choice. It’s a visual marvel full of Disney magic. This talented cast bring these canonical characters to the stage in a way that pays homage to the source but also allows their personalities and talents to shine.
