About the 30th Anniversary National Tour

The current national tour launched on June 25, 2025, in Schenectady, New York, with an official opening on July 10, 2025, in Chicago at the Cadillac Palace Theatre. This is Disney’s first North American touring production of Beauty and the Beast in over 25 years — the previous Disney-produced tours ran from 1995 through 2003, playing a combined 2,893 performances for more than 5.7 million audience members. The new production reunites members of the original Tony Award–winning artistic team while bringing a fresh, contemporary staging to the show.

The production features direction and choreography by Matt West, with scenic design by Stanley A. Meyer, Tony Award–winning costume design by Ann Hould-Ward, and lighting design by Natasha Katz. The score is composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and a book by Linda Woolverton. The production uses theatrical smoke, haze, fog, open flame, strobe effects, and gun effects to create the enchanted world of the story.

The Music That Changed Broadway

Alan Menken’s score moves effortlessly between sweeping ballads, comedic showstoppers, and intimate character songs. Howard Ashman, who wrote the lyrics for the animated film but passed away before its release, left behind words of remarkable wit and emotional precision. Tim Rice added new songs for the Broadway production — including “Home,” Belle’s Act I solo, and “If I Can’t Love Her,” the Beast’s powerful ballad — that deepened the storytelling while matching the quality of the original material.

The score delivers something for everyone. “Be Our Guest” is one of the most spectacular production numbers in Broadway history — a full-company extravaganza of singing, dancing, and theatrical magic that brings the enchanted castle’s servants to jubilant life. “Beauty and the Beast,” performed by Mrs. Potts as Belle and the Beast dance in the ballroom, remains one of the most emotionally resonant moments in musical theater. And “Gaston,” the comedic tavern number, never fails to bring the house down with its escalating absurdity and infectious energy. Hearing these songs performed live by a Broadway-caliber cast in the acoustic splendor of the Paramount Theatre is an experience that transcends the screen.

A Story That Resonates Across Generations

At its heart, Beauty and the Beast is a story about looking beyond appearances to find the truth within. Belle, the intelligent and independent bookworm who refuses to conform to her small village’s expectations, remains one of Disney’s most beloved heroines precisely because her strength comes from her character rather than from magic or royal birth. The Beast’s transformation — from a prince cursed for his vanity to a soul who learns to love and be loved — carries an emotional weight that deepens with every viewing. For families attending together, the show offers entry points for every age: spectacle and humor for younger audiences, emotional complexity and thematic richness for adults. Disney recommends the show for ages 6 and up, and all guests entering the theater, regardless of age, must have a ticket.
