The award-winning team of Chris DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie have created an excitingly entertaining musical comedy version of the original French fantasy, molding the magic, romance, humor and grandeur of this timeless tale into a production which touches the hearts, and indeed, almost the fingertips, of audiences members 2 to 102, as they help Beauty discover that “it’s not what you look like, but what’s in your heart that counts†and find a magical happily-ever-after ending that leaves all who are young at heart breathless.
