Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is a family-friendly Broadway-style musical adaptation of the animated Disney film, featuring songs by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice and a story adapted for the stage by Linda Woolverton. Touring productions, produced by Disney Theatrical Group, present the lavish, period-setting spectacle with large ensemble numbers, iconic costumes and elaborate sets at major venues such as the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles. The show is notable for translating the film’s animation and score into live theatrical staging that appeals to both children and adult theatergoers.
