Beauty and the Beast

Sponsored by The Port Theatre Society

You will be thoroughly entertained by Nanaimo District Secondary School’s spring production of Beauty and the Beast.

The Disney musical Beauty and the Beast, according to press notes, is "the classic love story of Belle, a young woman in a small, provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a prince trapped in a spell placed on him by an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and to be loved, the spell will be broken and he will be transformed back to his former self. But time is running out, and if the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he will be doomed for all eternity."

Featuring a score by Alan Menken, Tim Rice and the late Howard Ashman, Beauty and the Beast boasts a book by the author of the original screenplay, Linda Woolverton. The NDSS musical is directed by Martha Parker with musical direction by Doug Roszmann.
