About the book.

Back to basics with this story of the love of beauty, first for her father and her family and then for the beast who is cursed by an evil queen who wanted him to marry her equally evil daughter.

Don't look for talking crockery or singing roses in this one but do use the nasty sisters to their full potential.

Play the pathos for all it's worth, there won't be a dry eye in the house.

7 principals and small chorus.

Definitely family entertainment.
