synopsis
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast
Once upon a time” there lived a selfish young Prince, who had everything his heart desired. One stormy night, an old Woman begs for shelter in the Prince’s castle offering in return, a single red rose. Unwilling to help her, he turns the old woman away. As punishment, she transforms him into a hideous Beast and places a powerful spell on the castle and all who live there. Years later, a kindly old villager, loses his way in the woods. Terrified of the ominous forest, Maurice seeks shelter at the old castle, but the Beast takes him captive instead. Maurice’s daughter, Belle, desperate to save her father gives up her freedom to set him free. With the help of the enchanted castle’s residents, Belle sets out to tame the unfortunate Beast not knowing she will break the spell and discover her handsome prince.

And there I was, ten minutes into the performance, in that state of tranced enjoyment that this company — made up entirely of disabled professional actors — almost always induces, and trying to figure out yet again how Phamaly does it.

To be seen as human again is all anyone who has ever walked, wheeled or been led onto a PHAMALy stage has
ever really wanted. And year after amazing year, this remarkable handicapped theater company just keeps
making the kind of stage miracles that eradicate misperceptions.
And “Beauty and the Beast” may be the most realized work in its 21 years. Not only for the relevance of the
material, but in its execution. This staging is artful, confident and at times downright giddy. It drips with love
like petals free-falling off a rose.
Disney’s megamusical may be a tale as old as time, but you haven’t seen it till you’ve seen it this time.
