Disney's Beauty and the Beast

Disney's Beauty and the Beast opens at the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater on Tuesday, December 8, and runs through Saturday, December 19. It's the stage musical that brought the film to the theater, built around the Oscar-winning and Tony Award-nominated score that gave us "Be Our Guest" and "Beauty and the Beast."

This production brings back members of the original Tony Award-winning artistic team. Alan Menken composed the music, Tim Rice wrote the lyrics, and Linda Woolverton wrote the book. Matt West handles direction and choreography, Stanley A. Meyer is on scenic design, Ann Hould-Ward takes care of costumes, and Natasha Katz is in charge of lighting. Critics have called it lavish and opulent, with the New York Times calling it "a delight" and the New York Post a "spectacular stage extravaganza."

The show runs 2 hours and 30 minutes with one intermission, and it's recommended for ages 6 and up. Accessible performances are available on select dates, including ASL interpretation, audio description, and captioning. The run is presented by Zions Bank & Broadway at the Eccles, and it plays in the Delta Hall at the Eccles Theater, 131 Main St, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.
