Disney's Beauty and the Beast will hit the Coffeyville Community College stage on April 26-28. Productions will be at 7:30 p.m. each evening during the show's run. Performances will take place in the Spencer/Rounds Theatre, and admission is free.
Beauty and the Beast is a musical with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and book by Linda Woolverton. The musical is adapted from Walt Disney Pictures' Academy Award-winning 1991 animated musical film of the same name.
Beauty and the Beast tells the story of a cold-blooded prince who has been magically transformed into an unsightly creature as punishment for his selfish ways. To revert into his true human form, the Beast must first earn the love of a bright, beautiful young woman whom he has imprisoned in his enchanted castle before it is too late.
