Beauty and the Beast
Chanhassen Dinner Theatres
501 W 78th St Chanhassen
In BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, a prince harshly turns a beggar woman away from shelter in his castle. She is secretly an enchantress, who, angered by the prince's lack of compassion, changes the prince into a hideous Beast and all the castles' human inhabitants into living objects. The enchantress tells the Beast that before the last petal falls from an enchanted rose, he must find true love or all will remain forever altered. Not far from the castle, in a small village, Belle lives with her father Maurice, an inventor. Belle is seen as odd by all but Gaston, a handsome yet highly egotistical man, who wants to marry her. Belle's father gets lost in the woods and stumbles upon the Beast's castle where he is welcomed by the walking, talking clock and candlestick. However, when the Beast discovers him, he is taken captive. When Belle finds out, she rushes to his aid and trades her freedom for her father's. The Beast is harsh at first, but eventually the two develop something deeper.

Beauty and the Beast Reviews
| Star Tribune - Recommended
"...It is this quiet love story that so satisfyingly concludes the show, even though it was a raucous production number that got things started."

How Was The Show - Highly Recommended
"...Beauty and the Beast is a story not quite as old as time. Unlike most fairy tales we know when it was written, who wrote it, and why: in 1740, by Mlle Barbot de Villeneuve as an adult entertainment for French salon society. The story revolves around Belle, the daughter of the village odd-ball, who sacrifices herself to free her father, who has been captured by a Beast. The Beast is in fact a Prince cursed to live as an animal until he learns to love. If you don't already know the rest of this happily-ever-after tale you can probably guess most of it. Better yet, get thee to Chanhassen to see it unfold on stage."

Aisle Say Twin Cities - Highly Recommended
"...The quaint, intimate space at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre can barely contain the dynamism of its latest production, Disney's Beauty and the Beast. For the first time in more than ten years, the beloved fairytale has returned to the charming west-suburban locale. The March 11th opener did not disappoint."
