A Reimagined Beauty and the Beast for a New Generation
This touring production marks a significant milestone for Disney Theatrical: the first company-produced North American tour of Beauty and the Beast since the original run concluded more than two decades ago. Rather than simply restaging the 1994 production, the creative team has rebuilt the show from the ground up with updated scenic design by Stanley A. Meyer, fresh projections and video design by Darrel Maloney, and illusion design by Jim Steinmeyer that brings the enchanted castle and its magical inhabitants to life in ways that were not technically possible during the show's original run.
At its core, the musical remains the story audiences know and love: a young woman named Belle looks beyond outward appearances to discover the true heart of a prince cursed to live as a beast. Linda Woolverton's book, Alan Menken's music, and Tim Rice's lyrics form the foundation of a show that has become one of the most performed musicals in the world. The reimagined tour preserves every iconic moment while introducing choreography by Matt West that gives the ensemble numbers a contemporary energy.
St. Louis audiences visiting the Fabulous Fox Theatre between March 2 and 14 will see the full touring company perform with a live orchestra under the music supervision of Michael Kosarin. The production's blend of classic Disney storytelling and state-of-the-art stagecraft makes it an ideal outing for families, date nights, and groups of all ages. BigStub offers verified tickets across all 16 performances, with options ranging from orchestra to balcony seating.
