Based on the original Broadway production, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr. is a fantastic adaptation of the story of transformation and tolerance.

In order to break the spell, the Beast must learn to love another and earn love in return – before time runs out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

“Wonder of the World”
Friday, May 12 – 7:00 PM
Saturday, May 13 – 2:00 PM
Saturday, May 13 – 7:00 PM
Nothing will prepare you for the dirty little secret Cass discovers in her husband’s sweater drawer. It is so shocking that our heroine has no choice but to flee to the honeymoon capital of the world in a frantic search for the life she thinks she missed out on. It’s a wild ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs as Cass embarks on a journey of self-discovery that has her crossing paths with a blithely alcoholic, a lonely tour-boat captain, a pair of bickering private detectives, and a strange caper involving a gargantuan jar of peanut butter, all of which pushes her perilously close to the water’s edge.
Wonder of the World, written by David Lindsay-Abaire, is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection.
