This version of the classic tale closely follows the original story written by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, revised and made popular by Madame Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, a governess and popular French novelist in the mid-1700s. In this charming libretto you will meet Belle and her fun-loving family, as well as the gentle spirit who not-so-gently influences the Beast's fate. Along with Belle, you will learn that true beauty is not just skin deep, but that it, compassion, and grace lie well below the surface where, if we would only wish hard enough, our fondest dreams can really come true. Share in this delightful musical adaptation the joys of finding love in the unexpected and daring to dream your dreams.
