Chaffey Theatre Company's Disney Beauty and the Beast
Step into Chaffey Theatre Company's historic Gardiner W Spring Auditorium and find yourself in the enchanted world of Broadway's modern classic, Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
Originally written as a meandering fairy tale in 1740, our production is based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature and the original Broadway production that ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
While the new Emma Watson cinematic spectacular plays everywhere in movie cinemas, this is your choice chance to see it LIVE on Chaffey's enormous 50 feet wide stage, the largest in the Inland Empire. (A huge stage means HUGE scenery...)
The classic story tells 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, he and his household including Lumiere, the love-struck candelabra; Cogsworth, a pompous clock and the kindly Mrs. Potts and all the other enchanted servants will be doomed for all eternity.
This "tale as old as time" is filled with spectacular costumes, exquisite lightning and "eye-popping" scenery, magical transformations, aerial flying and spirited choreography.
The rich musical score includes such songs as the title song Beauty and the Beast, Be Our Guest, Gaston and the heart-felt ballad If I Can't Love Her.
Chaffey's Beauty and the Beast offers a great opportunity to bring your entire family, the young and young at heart together, for family theatre at its BEST!
