Beauty and the Beast at La Mirada Theatre

Why see Beauty and the Beast?

From the panto company USA!

It was Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, the former French singing teacher turned English governess, who wrote the best-known version of Beauty and the Beast more than 250 years ago; today its inspiring message to look beyond the surface is still as strong as ever - so much so that it has been translated into a film by Disney not once, but twice; and 1994, it was adapted by Disney into a musical production. Now, catch it in this pantomime production from The Panto Company USA, starring Dame Dotty Potty, Loopy Louie, Gaston, Belle and of course The Beast!

The story unfolds when an old woman knocks at the door of a prince's castle seeking shelter in exchange for a rose. The prince refuses, based on her looks, but she then transforms into a beautiful enchantress and places a curse on him as she warns him not to judge on appearances. The prince is turned into a beast and his servants into everyday household objects; the curse can only be broken if the prince falls in love and earns that person's love in return before the final petal of the woman's rose (now in an hourglass) falls.

Full of fun and laughter, don't miss this exciting new family-friendly production!

YESSSS! BEST "Beauty and the Beast" production EVER.

As the first reviewer mentioned, I have also seen this show 7 times, over 24 years, including Broadway (post-Susan Egan), The Schubert in L.A., and other professional productions. I was astounded and DELIGHTED throughout -- almost impossible to articulate but so thankful I got to see this one, there will be none better unless they cast everyone exactly the same. Special shout-outs to of course Susan Egan (what a voice, even her speaking voice you just swoon over); Gaston ( Adam Hollick, jaw-dropping amazing in every way); the adorable Beast (well . . . once he took that hot suit off), but holy moly, what a gorgeous voice Jason Chacon!); Lumiere (Marc Ginsburg - PERFECT, as great as Gary Beach, RIP). Mrs. Potts (she was an understudy? Hard to believe); Maurice, Cogsworth, and of course the beleaguered village idiot, Lafou. Not a single weak link in the entire cast. MESMERIZING! ... Read more

Best rendition ever seen!!!

Having seen Beauty and the Beast in NY on Broadway and London's West End I figured I had seen the best.... NOT!!! 5Star Theatricals "Beauty and the Beast" beats them all hands down. From the opening number to the final curtain call every member of this INCREDIBLE cast delights and makes the age old story seem brand new. Special shout out to Susan Egan ( the original Belle on Broadway) who is even better now if that is possible. Also, amazing performances by David Gilchrist who plays Belle's father, Maurice. Gaston, LaFou, Lumiere and Cogsworth are ALL fantastic, and the Beast. And of course, the Beast gives a breathtaking performance. Bravo!! Hope you have amazing success!!! ... Read more
