EAST LANSING, MI — One of the highest grossing Broadway musicals of all time will arrive in East Lansing this week. Disney’s Beauty and the Beast – featuring Belle, the fearsome Beast and Gaston – opens Tuesday night at the Wharton Center.
Based on the 1991 Academy Award winning animated feature film, Beauty and the Beast made Disney history. It was just the second time that a Disney film had been structured as a stage musical where the songs are integral to plot and characterization, according to a press release. This is Disney’s first North American touring production of the beloved musical in over 25 years.
Opening night is Tuesday with the musical playing through Sunday Oct. 19. Get tickets at whartoncenter.com or by calling 1-800-wharton.
