Step into the enchanted world of Broadway's modern classic, the international sensation that has played to over 35 million people. Based on the Academy-Award winning animated feature, the stage version of “Beauty and the Beast” includes all of the wonderful songs from the movie. The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a French 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 to be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self.

Lamoille stage veterans Kaitlyn Jewett and Michael Daley III will play the title roles. The villain Gaston and his sidekick Lefou are portrayed by Noel Kramer and Cullen O’Boyle-Still. Andrew Schrader is Maurice, Belle’s father. Those lovable Enchanted Objects are played by Natalie Reed (Cogsworth the Clock,) Sadie Lourie (Babette the Feather Duster,) Morgan Manning (Madame do le Grande Bouche the Wardrobe,) Melissa Chase (Mrs. Potts the Teakettle,) Michael McLure (Lumiere the Candlestick,) and Thomas Schrader Chip, the Teacup.)

Over 50 students are in the cast. The Artistic Director/Producer is Lori Lisai, who has treated the community to recent productions of Shrek, Seussical, Once On This Island, and many other popular shows.
