About the show

“Beauty and the Beast Jr.” tells the familiar story of Belle, a young woman who finds herself held in an enchanted castle inhabited by a prince cursed to live as a beast.

With memorable songs and colorful characters, the musical explores the themes of inner beauty, acceptance and true love conquering all.
