Beauty And The Beast

Santa Monica Playhouse
1211 4th Street Santa Monica

Santa Monica Playhouse proudly presents the All-Male Late-Night Date-Night production of the acclaimed musical comedy, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, celebrating PRIDE 2017 with an inclusive twist. Playwrights Chris DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie mold the magic, romance, humor and grandeur of this timeless tale into a production which touches the hearts, and indeed, almost the fingertips, of its audience members. Based on the original 1740's tale by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, this classic musical gets a big twist! Set in a fantasy Medieval milieu "long, long ago," a lovely and spirited Beauty takes charge of her fate and molds herself a most endearing Beast, who offers her a rose garden of a thousand and one delights. Replete with ditzy sisters, a befuddled sire, a spell-binding sorceress and a flamboyantly foppish suitor, who all inadvertently or intentionally strew more than a few thorns along Beauty and her Beast's arduous, and ardor-ous, path, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, is a story where loves wins out, allowing all to find their happily-ever-after endings, and proves that beauty is as beauty does and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
