Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. is playing at the CAL Center from Thursday, February 16th through Friday, February 17th at 6:00 p.m. The 60-minute musical, designed for middle school-aged performers, is based on the 1994 Broadway production and Disney’s 1991 animated feature film. The cast includes over 40 students led by Ms. Alicia Klawitter, Mr. Anthony Iannece, and Mrs. Tina Moritz. These performances are free to the public.
Ms. Klawitter, the middle school literacy teacher, states, “This will be a performance that you 'don't want to miss.' There is a ridiculous amount of talent in these young people!"
Beauty and the Beast JR. tells the story of Belle, an adventurous young girl, and the Beast, her hideous captor who is actually a young prince trapped under a spell. In order to break the spell, the Beast must learn to love another and earn her love in return – before time runs out. With the help of the castle’s enchanted staff, including a loving teapot, a charming candelabra, and a nervous mantel clock, Belle and the Beast find a beautiful friendship and love that neither knew was possible. Beauty and the Beast JR. features classic songs from the Academy Award®-winning film score such as “Be Our Guest” and “Belle,” as well as original songs from the 1994 Tony®-nominated Broadway musical.
