LACONIA — Disney’s "Beauty and the Beast JR" is playing at the Laconia Middle School Multipurpose Room on Friday May 24th at 5:30 PM. The 60-minute musical, designed for middle school-aged performers, is based on the 1994 Broadway production and Disney’s 1991 animated feature film. The cast includes Laconia Middle School students led by Director Norm Gilbert and Music Directors Teagan Sault and Marc Didonato.
"Beauty and the Beast JR" tells the story of Belle, an adventurous young girl, and the Beast, her hideous captor who is actually a young prince trapped under a spell. In order to break the spell, the Beast must learn to love another and earn her love in return – before time runs out. With the help of the castle’s enchanted staff, including a loving teapot, a charming candelabra, and a nervous mantel clock, Belle and Beast find a beautiful friendship and love that neither knew was possible. "Beauty and the Beast JR" features classic songs from the Academy Award-winning film score such as “Be Our Guest” and “Belle,” as well as original songs from the 1994 Tony-nominated Broadway musical.
Admission is free. Call 603-800-9441 or email ngilbert@laconiaschools.org for reservations.
