| Step into the
enchanted world of Broadway’s modern classic, Disney’s
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Based on the Academy Award winning
animated feature, the stage version of Disney’s BEAUTY AND
THE BEAST includes all of the wonderful songs from the film,
written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, (the team
responsible for LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS), plus new songs
written especially for the Broadway version by Mr. Menken
and Tim Rice (ALADDIN, AIDA).
Your audiences will be transported to a lovely French
provincial town where the beautiful Belle lives with her
father – a dotty inventor. When her father doesn’t return
from a trip to the local fair, Belle rushes off to find him.
To her dismay, she discovers he is being held captive in an
old castle by a horrible beast. She trades her freedom for
his and the “tale as old as time” begins.
How Belle tames the unfortunate Beast and his ultimate
transformation into a handsome prince continues to enthrall
audiences on Broadway nightly. |

This is the poignant story of Mrs. Watts, an aging widow living
with her son and daughter-in-law in a three-room flat in Houston,
Texas. Fearing that her presence may be an imposition on others, and
chafing under the watchful eye of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Watts
imagines that if she can get away and return to her old home in the
town of Bountiful, she is sure to regain her strength, dignity and
peace of mind. So she attempts to run away, and when she reaches a
bus station on the last part of her short journey, she falls into
the hands of a sheriff whom her son and daughter-in-law have put on
her trail. The sheriff, a kindly fellow, allows her to complete the
final stage of her journey, so she proceeds to Bountiful and makes a
lonely pilgrimage to the scene of her old home. Only too soon she
learns that the friends of her youth have all died or scattered, and
her home is no longer the spacious mansion of her memories but a
crumbling wreck. But she has the supreme satisfaction of plunging
her hands into the strength-giving earth, and this leaves her with a
sense of that strength and dignity that will give her the courage to
survive. When her son and daughter-in-law appear on the scene to
take her back to Houston, she consents to return quietly, secure in
the knowledge that the remainder of her existence will be enriched
as a result of her last contact with Bountiful.
