A woman in a period costume sits on an ornate, antique-style chaise lounge, reading a book. The scene is dimly lit with a warm glow and a purple-lit curtain in the background, suggesting a theatrical setting.
Five performers on stage in colorful, traditional costumes strike dynamic poses. The scene is lively; one person has arms outstretched and a joyful expression. Arched windows and blue panels form the backdrop, creating a theatrical atmosphere.
A woman in braided hair, wearing a floral dress, dances with a person in theatrical makeup and a costume resembling a cat. They are on stage under purple lighting, evoking a whimsical atmosphere.

Description

The Off-Broadway version of this classic tale introduces audiences to scholarly Beauty, a young girl who is drawn to books and adventure rather than the desire for a prince to sweep her off her feet. To try to settle her father’s debt, she agrees to live in a castle with a mysterious beast, where she learns about friendship and love. This production, suitable for all ages, is based on the original novel by Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont and full of music, dancing and lovable characters.
