Beauty comes from within. So does the nature of the Beast. See both sides of the story in Beauty and the Beast. The classic tale weaves a tender love story between the gnarled trees of the enchanted forest. Audiences are offered a glimpse at unexpected romance, heartbreak and the power of love through striking scenery and stunning neoclassical choreography.
Choreography: Lew Christensen
Music: P.I. Tchaikovsky
