Beauty and the Beast began as a fairy tale that was first published in 1740. The Disney animation version of Beauty and the Beast was released in 1991. The musical first premiered on Broadway in April of 1994. A live action film version was released in 2017 starring Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, and Josh Gad. And now, it opens at the Cadillac Palace in July of 2025. 

In the story, a prince is cursed by an enchantress for refusing the give her a place to stay. He is transformed into a beast until he finds true love.  

This huge production is full of theatre magic, adult humor, and joy for all ages. Everything is excellent including the cast, the costumes, the choreography, and the set. Even with high expectations, it does not disappoint. The additional songs are great as well, especially “If I Can’t Love Her”.
