(HACKETTSTOWN, NJ) -- Centenary Stage Company’s Annual Family Holiday Spectacular returns to the Lackland Performing Arts Center with Broadway’s modern classic, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast! The production runs from November 29 to December 15 in the Sitnik Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center on the campus of Centenary University. Step into the enchanted world of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, a Broadway modern classic and international sensation that has been produced in over 37 countries worldwide.
Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all of the delightful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. The original Broadway production ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
The classic story follows Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and a 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 into his former self; but, time is running short. If the Beast does not learn this lesson before the last petal falls from his enchanted rose, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity. Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is made possible by the generous support of The House of the Good Shepard, Heath Village Retirement Community, Atlantic Health System, and Home Instead Senior Care.
