Disney’s popular stage musical comes to life on the G. Ray Bodley High School stage in Fulton.

Based on the film of the same name, Disney’s Beauty & The Beast features such well known songs as “Be Our Guest,” “Gaston,” “Human Again,” “Is This Home?,” “If I Can’t Love Her,” “Beauty & The Beast,” and “Something There.” Colorful characters, magnificent costumes and Disney magic make this story of love, self discovery and inner beauty an audience favorite.

Under the direction of Tom Briggs, Tom Nami and Rob Lescarbeau, with costumes by Debbie Ritchey, Disney’s Beauty & The Beast will be presented Thursday, March 10th (7:30 PM), Friday, March 11th (7:30 PM) and Saturday, March 12th (2:00 PM & 7:30 PM) in the Bodley HS Auditorium.

Tickets are $8.00 for adults, $7.00 for children 12 and under and senior citizens, and are available at the door.

Word spreads quickly that a girl is in the castle - perhaps THE girl who can bring love to a beast's heart and break a magic spell. The Beast's servants, now enchanted objects, long to be "human again." Discussing the news are Mrs. Potts (Clare Bawarski), Cogsworth (Zachary Mizener) and Lumiere (Neil Devendorf).
