![]() Only once before – in Alan Menken and Howard Ashman’s previous film musical The Little Mermaid – had a Disney film been structured like a stage musical where the songs are integral to plot and characterisation rather than only ornamental or digressions. The structure and tone of the story and score – as conceived for the 1991 film by its executive producer and lyricist Howard Ashman with a continued evolution for the Broadway adaptation three years later – made Disney history. While retaining the lush period sound of the Oscar-winning and Tony®-nominated score, this new production of Beauty and the Beast will be heard afresh with new choreography. It won the 1998 Olivier Award for Best Musical and enjoyed a hugely successful UK & Ireland tour in 2001. The original West End production of Beauty and the Beast opened at the Dominion Theatre in April 1997, playing over 1100 performances to more than two million people. Tickets go on sale to ATG TheatreCard Holders on Friday 20 November with general sale opening on Thursday 26 November. Bursting with the charm and elegance audiences expect from Belle, the show will also feature the iconic songs, composed by Alan Menken, Be Our Guest and Beauty and the Beast in its soundtrack. Using the latest theatrical innovations, this timeless romantic tale will be brought to life at The Liverpool Empire from Thursday 23rd September until Saturday 26th October 2021. The show has been spectacularly revamped in startling new designs. ![]() ![]() Disney’s beloved Olivier Award-winning stage musical Beauty and the Beast is to be re-imagined and re-designed in a completely new production coming to the Liverpool Empire next year, as part of a UK tour. ![]()
