Classic Tale Of Beauty And The Beast At Moorestown High School

MOORESTOWN, NJ — The Moorestown Theater Company continues its production of Beauty and the Beast this weekend. The adaptation of Broadway's modern classic, “Disney's Beauty and the Beast,” opened Thursday night and continues through next week.

“Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” is an international sensation that played a remarkable 13-year run on Broadway and has been produced in 37 countries worldwide.

Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all the songs written by Alan Menken and the late 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 classic story tells the tale 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.
