The Historic Royal Theatre presents the Royal Players production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast June 16th – 26th. This production, made possible by a sponsorship with Everett Chevrolet, will be opening summer 2022.
Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice.
The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. 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. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
This “tale as old as time” is directed by Bob Bidewell, with music direction by Jeannie Cross, choreography by Olivia Stephens, and is stage managed by Emma Boone.
The cast includes Marcia Brown, Tanner Oglesby, Anjelica Ridgeway, Danny Troilett, Kurt Leftwich, Hayden Griffis, Jayden Sprout, Matthew Burns, William Alverio, Olivia Hatton, Amanda Gilmore, Denver Allen, Karena Malott, Katelyn Compton, Shelby Loftis, Lauran Belk, Taylor Bumann, Grace Curtis, Bethany Davis, Hannah Grace Fritz, Rylee Woodard, Carl McBride, Steven McConkie, and Chase Albaugh.
