CYT Santa Cruz presents Disney's Beauty and the Beast

Be Our Guest! Step into the enchanted world of Broadway's modern classic, Disney's Beauty and the Beast. The Academy Award-winning film comes to life in this exciting stage version of the classic fairytale. The original Broadway production ran for over 13 years and was nominated for 9 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

This production, performed by 70 kids, ages 8-18, has been the effort of many artists and families of the Santa Cruz county community. It is the company's 13th production in their 5th year of operation.
