Producer and President of Disney Theatrical Productions, Thomas Schumacher and Stage Entertainment France, today announced that they will continue their ongoing producing partnership with the premiere of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, which will make its debut in Paris, France on October 24th, 2013 at the Mogador Theatre, marking the first time the production will be performed in French.

Beauty and the Beast is a tale almost as old as time. The first origins of the story can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. Countless subsequent versions have been created in every country ... to this day. How then can DreamWrights claim theirs as an original? Because it is an original adaptation which was written, for them, in 2001. This is the second time it is being performed anywhere in the world.

Last night I fell in love … again … with Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! And that was surprise. The Musical holds a very special place in my heart since Broadway's original Belle, Susan Egan, and Broadway's final Belle, Anneliese Vanderpol, are both former students of mine. I was looking forward to seeing the production - but I was, in no way, expecting to be so completely taken in. It was a first class production all the way and was, by far, for me, the best musical theatre production in the McCallum's 25th anniversary season and the perfect way for them to begin to bring down the curtain on a tremendous and memorable year.

Disney's Beauty and the Beast is coming to Palm Desert as part of the Rabobank Broadway Blockbusters Series at The McCallum Theatre and it stars "local girl' Hilary Maiberger as Belle. Produced by NETworks Presentations, this elaborate theatrical production will come to life on the McCallum stage for five performances on Friday, March 22nd at 8pm, Saturday, March 23rd at 2pm and 8pm, and Sunday March 24th at 2pm and 7pm. I had the chance to chat with Hilary about "being Belle", life on the road, career aspirations and a number of other things. Here are a few excerpts from that interview:

On next week's all new episode of The CW's Beauty and the Beast titled, 'Insatiable,' after taking their relationship to a new level, Cat (Kristin Kreuk) and Vincent (Jay Ryan) are forced to deal with reality when someone appears to be the framing the vigilante. Evan (Max Brown) finds proof that Cat knows more than she is letting on about the beast. Muirfield and the police are closing in on Vincent and this time there is no escape, so J.T. (Austin Basis) and Cat come up with an extreme solution. Meanwhile, Tess (Nina Lisandrello) following a tip, finds something that will forever change her relationship with Cat. Check out a first look below!

On next week's all new episode of The CW's Beauty and the Beast, titled 'Any Means Possible,' new Assistant District Attorney Gabe Lowan (Sendhil Ramamurthy) arrives at the precinct, suspicious that cases involving the vigilante are being mishandled, and wanting answers.

Be their guest. Be their guest. Put their production to the test. Take a program in your hand, cherie, and they provide the rest. Lots of dance. Lots of song. Why they only live to serve. Try the staging. It's delicious. Don't believe me? Ask the hundreds of children and adults who eagerly attended Broadway Sacramento's opening of Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast' Wednesday night.
