'Beauty and the Beast' returns to the El Capitan Theatre in September

The El Capitan Theatre held a Throwback Thursday screening of Beauty and the Beast back in April, complete with appearances from the film's directors, producer, and video messages from composer Alan Menken and star Paige O'Hara (Belle). The film played to a sold out crowd that night and fans will once again have the opportunity to see the animated classic on the big screen this September for the film's 25th anniversary.

 

Beauty and the Beast will play at the El Capitan Theatre for a two week engagement beginning September 2nd. The film will play four showtimes a day through September 18th with a special appearance by Belle live on stage prior to the show. Tickets are now available ($11-$23) on the theater's site. Breakfast and a meet & greet with Belle is also available for some 10 am showtimes.

UPDATE:
Beauty and the Beast began its two week engagement at the El Capitan Theatre on Friday with a special event for D23 members. Check out some photos from this weekend's screenings.

Angela Lansbury's movie version of the song BEAUTY AND THE BEAST with special appearance by Belle live on stage before Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST 25th anniversary screening by D23 on 9/2/2016 at El Capitan Theatre. One of my favorite songs and I love this version better than the one by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson. #elcapitantheatre #beautyandthebeast #disney23 #batb #d23 #disney #angelalansbury #belle
