Leeds Grand Youth Theatre (LGYT) presents its version of Broadway’s classic, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.
Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all of the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. The original Broadway production ran for over 13 years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
The ‘tale as old as time’ tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, 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.
LGYT is a thriving, vibrant company of young people aged 8-18 where skills building and inclusivity are at the heart of everything they do.
