The story of

"Beauty and the Beast" is well-known.

The Beast is

a prince who has been put under an evil spell. The spell can only be broken

when he learns to love and to be loved. Belle, a young woman, rescues

her father by taking his place at the Beast's castle. Over time, the two

fall in love and care for one another, thus breaking the spell.

"Beauty

And The Beast" won acclaim as a full length Disney film. After being

nominated for several Academy awards, including Best Picture, a musical

was created. The stage production won several Tony awards and is now enjoying

its seventh season on Broadway.
