Last night we had the opportunity to attend the Drayton Entertainment production of Disney’s Beauty
and the Beast at the Dunfield Theatre Cambridge (soon to
be known as Hamilton Family Theatre Cambridge). It was quite a spectacle to see the “tale
as old as time” performed live. Every
detail from character physicality to costume design was on point. Together with collection of classic songs and
scenes set throughout the enormous set, it transported the audience from the Provincial
town to the Enchanted castle as the story unfolded before them.
In true Drayton Entertainment form,
and much like the
live action film, the performance gave way to a range of emotions. There were moments of laughter, tears and heartfelt
joy as Belle and the Beast where brought together and torn apart with the
assistance of the servants in the castle and Gaston praising townsfolk. There was even a dance scene with clinking steins
that you will want to re-create at your next Oktoberfest celebration! With all
of these stage elements blended with the well-known fairy tale, we believe this
is an enchanting theatrical performance that your whole family will enjoy.
Since its Broadway premiere in 1994, Beauty and
the Beast has become
one of the most successful screen-to-stage adaptations of all time, grossing
over $1.4 billion in 13 countries. The Broadway musical garnered nine Tony
nominations, boasting a win for Best Costume Design and becoming the tenth
longest-running Broadway production in history with 5,461 performances between
1994 and 2007. A production in London’s West End subsequently opened in 1997
and the show has continued to tour internationally as well as being produced at
regional theatres worldwide.
Create A Christmas Memory with Disney’s Beauty and the Beast
It was announced last night
that Drayton Entertainment has extended the show and that a NEW BLOCK OF TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR DISNEY’S
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
This spellbinding musical is
now running until the beginning of January! We think this will make a wonderful
Christmas gift and give you the opportunity to create a Christmas memory this
year.
