Disney's Beauty and the Beast is a touring Broadway-style musical produced by Disney Theatrical Productions that adapts the studio's animated film into a live stage production with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and a book by Linda Woolverton. The production plays at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles and presents the classic tale of Belle and the Beast with lavish sets, costumes, and family-oriented spectacle. It is notable for bringing a long-running, high-profile Broadway show to regional audiences as part of a national tour.
