The classic story tells 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.

Beauty and the Beast, the "tale as old as time", centers around a
selfish prince who denies a beggar woman. She happens to be an
enchantress in disguise. The enchantress casts a spell on the prince
and turns him into a hideous beast, and the spell can only be broken if
he truly loves another and they love him in return. Belle, the
intelligent and independent thinker of her small village in France, may
just be the one capable of seeing the good in this lonely beast and
reminding us that what matters most comes from within.
There are many unique character roles in this show, and the ensemble
will truly make the story come alive! We will have all our favorite
characters plus dancing forks, busy villagers, rowdy mobs and more.
There is a valuable place for everyone because each role is important
in making our time in France believable!
When preparing your audition, show us your personality! Choose a one
minute song and one minute monologue that highlights your strengths
and joy for performing. We are not looking for perfection but want to
see you have fun and feel confident. Please choose a song within the
musical theater genre.
Many precious lessons can be learned from this story: beauty is found
within, small acts of kindness can make a meaningful impact, and my
personal favorite: love transforms us all. Although Beauty and the
Beast is a fictional story, it beautifully illustrates what the Lord has
done for each of us. His love changed us and made us whole. When we
love others like Christ loves us, we get to be a small part of their
transformation story as well.
I want each character, whether villain or villager, to remind every
audience of the power of love. Through singing, dancing, and acting,
costumes, sets, and props, let’s take people through the journey of
regret, fear, loss, hope, and finally love. May they leave believing that
love truly conquers all!
