Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped in a spell placed by an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
Exceptional performance for all ages. The effects and the humor within the play makes the experience more enjoyable.
Beauty and the Beast had very strong performers who sang powerfully and emotionally. We have absolutely no complaints about the actors. They were very much the human personification of the animated movie. The show was generally good, but it did not flow very smoothly. The scene changes were either chaotic or seemed to have timing issues. Unfortunately, the show we saw had technical difficulties when the Beast is transformed into the Prince. They had to lower the curtain and lights, so we waited in the dark for about 5 minutes for the show to continue. The final number went off without a hitch, but overall my daughter and I were less than dazzled. The show, including an intermission, is over 2.5 hours long. I heard several younger children asking if the show was over and getting restless. The first act was almost 1.5 hours -- much too long to be sitting in small theatre seats. This musical is no Lion King, which I've seen three times. I don't know that I would see Beauty and the Beast again.
The talents of the cast and set design transported me into the story. I'm glad to have experienced such a great show.
Beautiful! Wonderful! Would recommend the event to a friend. The sets and the actors were great. It made you fill like it was real.
The play was very entertaining and in one word "beautiful.
I had seen Phantom of the Opera back in 2007 and I loved it! It was an unforgettable experience. So when learned that Beauty and the Beast was back in San Antonio I got my credit card ready!! This time I chose seats on the bottom floor and was super lucky because when I went online to purchase them nearly everything on the bottom floor was sold out. The lighting was amazing, the effects were amazing as well. The actors did such a great job portraying the characters in their true light. The comedy that was attached was also very well placed within the original story. I just loved it. My boyfriend loved it too! He said he'd gladly see it again. It was his first experience with theater! Everyone should experience this for themselves!
My wife and I both enjoyed the performance. The costumes, the colors, special effects were outstanding. The overall performance was very good.
We loved it. I think they did a great job, the props and costumes where awesome. Made you feel like you were watching the movie, it went along with the plot, only so much better live. Great experience.
I was truly amazed at the whole play. Very well done.
The play had humor for the little ones and the adults. It had me laughing
