Back by popular demand, CASA 0101 Theater and TNH Productions present Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast, The Broadway Musical” in association with Councilmember Gil Cedillo and El Centro Del Pueblo.

Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” follows Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is actually a handsome young prince, who lives in a luxurious castle in France. When an old beggar woman, who is actually an enchantress, asks the prince for shelter from the freezing cold, the prince shuns the beggar for her repulsive appearance, at which time the enchantress appears transforming the prince into a beast for his cold-hearted and selfish ways. The enchantress casts a magic spell upon the prince’s entire castle, including his good-natured servants who are transformed into household objects to reflect their different personalities.

Ashamed of his new appearance, the Beast conceals himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world, and an enchanted rose, which will bloom until he turns 21 years of age. Time is running out. If the Beast can learn to love a woman and earn her love in return before the final petal falls off the rose, the curse will be broken and he will return to his original self as a prince. But, if not, he will remain a Beast forever, and all the members of his household will be doomed as well for all eternity.

The five-week run begins May 11 and continues through June 10. Performances are Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. There is no performance on Friday, May 18.
