Disney shared an introductory video for their all new stage production of Beauty and the Beast opening this November aboard the Disney Dream.
The short video did not provide a great opportunity to see the details so here are some screenshots for your enjoyment. Starting off we get a good idea of what the Walt Disney Theatre will look like with some sneak peeks of the set storyboards and props.
Here is a look at some of the concept art and fabric samples for the costumes.
Looking closely at the next set of images provides a glimpse of Beast’s mask and his feet in the background.
Continuing the trend of character driven puppetry like Olaf, Disney will be using puppeteers to perform the roles of Lumiere and Fifi.
Production appears to be well underway in Toronto preparing for a November debut.
The all new Beauty and the Beast musical is officially slated to take over the Walt Disney Theatre stage from Villains Tonight! during the Monday November 6, 2017 departure of the Disney Dream from Port Canaveral.
What are the chances this premieres early? We are on the October 28 sailing.
Tangled, Frozen, now Beauty and the Beast?
I’m really disappointed by this trend of new shows that just rehash a movie.
I know I’m in the minority in my love of Villains Tonight, but shows like Dreams and Twice Charmed are super popular and have some element of originality.
