Step into the enchanted world of Broadway’s classic, Disney’s "Beauty and the Beast," coming to the Renaissance Main Stage as part of the Park National Bank Broadway Series. Directed by Ryan Shealy, with musical direction by Kelly Knowlton, this international sensation will captivate audiences over six performances. 

"Beauty and the Beast" performances are scheduled for:

• Saturdays July 20, July 27, and Aug. 3 at 7:30 p.m.
• Sundays July 21, July 28, and Aug. 4 at 2:30 p.m.

Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, this beloved tale includes all the wonderful songs by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Menken and Tim Rice. The original Broadway production ran for over 13 years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

The story follows Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, a young prince trapped under an enchantress's spell. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out, and if the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

"Our team is thrilled to bring a fresh perspective to such a well-known production. Our talented designers and actors are pushing creative boundaries to offer a new take on this beloved tale," said Director Ryan Shealy.

"Beauty and the Beast" is part of the Park National Bank Broadway Series, with additional support from J & B Acoustical, K. E. McCartney, and Hudson and Essex.
