Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage |
Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage is a Broadway style musical at the 1,500-seat Theater of the Stars. It is based on the popular animated film Beauty and the Beast, including many of the original songs and characters.
Two versions of the show have been presented. The original version which opened for the film's 1991 premiere presented the film's songs and story out-of-sequence. It's first performance was on November 22, 1991. When the original Theater of the Stars was knocked down in 1993 (to make room for the construction of Sunset Boulevard), the show was temporarily moved to the Backlot Theater on New York Street. The show reopened in July 1994, in the now covered & newly rebuilt Theater of the Stars on Sunset Blvd. The second version of the show debuted in early 2001 & now features the songs in the order they are presented in the film.
The show's principal parts (Belle and Gaston) are live-sung.
