Beauty and the Beast: June 13 - 14, 2025, The Magnolia Theater.
Set to Rachmaninoff’s classic music, Beauty and the Beast tells a tale as old as time. When Beauty’s father looses the family investment at sea, he seeks work elsewhere. He comes across a forgotten castle where he picks beautiful roses. Unbeknownst to the father, the castle houses a terrifying beast. When the beast finds the father picking flowers, he makes a deal with the old man. One of the father’s daughters come live with him in exchange for allowing the father to live. Beauty bravely volunteers. Once at the castle, she learns the beast is not as scary as she once thought. From there, they continue to fall in love and their love transforms the beast back into a beautiful prince.
