“Beauty and the Beast” tells the story of Belle, a beautiful and intelligent young woman who feels out of place in her provincial French village. When her father is imprisoned in a mysterious castle, Belle’s attempt to rescue him leads to her capture by the Beast, a grisly and fearsome monster, who was long ago trapped in his gruesome form by an enchantress. If the Beast can learn how to love and be loved again, the curse will be broken.

This musical tale of redemption is family friendly and is appropriate for all ages. It includes many beloved songs by composer Alan Menken and lyricists Howard Ashman and Tim Rice such as “Belle,” “Gaston,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Be Our Guest.”

With a cast and crew of over 65 Melrose students, “Beauty and the Beast” is brought to you by the same team that produced past Melrose Drama favorites such as “Oliver,” “Legally Blonde,” “The Little Mermaid JR, and ‘Mulan JR!” Following in the tradition of past Melrose Drama productions, the musical will include spectacular costumes, elaborate sets and a full orchestra led by Conductor Matthew Repucci.
