The Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre presents Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast,” the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into 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!
One of Broadway’s modern classics, Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” is an international sensation that played a remarkable 13-year run on Broadway and has been produced in 37 countries worldwide. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all of the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. The original Broadway production ran for more than 13 years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
The play runs from June 13-30 at the Kroc Center. For tickets and information, visit www.cdasummertheatre.com or call 208-660-2958.
