The owner of a flat returns unexpectedly with his mistress, and discovers a burglar. When the owner’s wife arrives, the burglar is forced to pretend the mistress is his wife.

Beauty

This is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped in a spell placed by an enchantress.

If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity. This international tour will see the show’s original Broadway creative team reuniting to bring this Broadway classic to life. The musical is directed by Rob Roth and choreographed by Matt West, with costume design by Ann Hould-Ward (Tony Award® winner for her work on Disney’s Beauty and the Beast).
