'Beauty and the Beast' inspired stage musical coming this fall to Disney Cruise Line

Travelers boarding the Disney Dream this November are in for an enchanting time on the high seas. Disney Parks Blog announced a new stage musical will be coming to Disney Cruise Line inspired by the live-action Beauty and the Beast film. The show will debut on the Disney Dream's November 6th sailing.
Just announced today, we’re bringing a tale as old as time to the Walt Disney Theatre on the Disney Dream! We’ve assembled an all-star creative team who is currently developing a brand-new musical production, “Beauty and the Beast,” inspired by Disney’s live-action adaptation of the animated classic.

You’ll once again fall in love with the enchanting fairytale as this new production of “Beauty and the Beast” celebrates the romance, adventure and magic of the live-action film, weaving in the charm and nostalgia of the award-winning animated feature.

“Beauty and the Beast” aboard the Disney Dream will bring the timeless fable to life like never before, featuring a style of theater that interlaces classic storytelling elements with cutting-edge technology, to create a unique, theatrical experience in the 1,340-seat Walt Disney Theatre. An innovative take on the story will transform renowned songs into spectacular, show-stopping numbers, and lavish costumes and puppetry will bring a fresh perspective to beloved characters.

“Beauty and the Beast” will debut during the Disney Dream voyage departing Nov. 6, 2017, joining an incredible lineup of Broadway-style stage productions aboard the ship, including “The Golden Mickeys” and “Disney’s Believe.”

New details have emerged this morning about the production, which will use a music box motif inspired by the live-action film. In Beauty and the Beast, Maurice crafts music boxes based on different countries for Belle.
Drawing inspiration from the live-action film, the stage musical uses the scenic motif of a music box to guide spectators through the story. Set designer, Jason Sherwood ("Paint Your Wagon," "Frozen, A Musical Spectacular"), worked in concert with video designer, Aaron Rhyne ("Frozen, A Musical Spectacular," Broadway's "Anastasia"), to create a transforming set that will take audiences on a magical journey through the music box, from Belle's provincial French town to the Beast's mysterious castle.

To bring "Beauty and the Beast" to the stage, Disney assembled an all-star creative team, led by director and choreographer Connor Gallagher ("Tangled: The Musical," "Found"). Gallagher collaborated with writer Sara Wordsworth ("Frozen, A Musical Spectacular," Broadway's "In Transit") and a talented collection of Broadway artists to create an imaginative, new approach to this iconic story.

Through a combination of high-definition projections, dynamic scenery and a little bit of Disney magic, this new interpretation of "Beauty and the Beast" will create a visual panorama that reaches beyond the stage and into the audience. Complementing the immersive set, lighting design by four-time Tony Award-nominated, Japhy Weideman, punctuates the powerful emotions of the classic tale.

Two of the film's three new songs, "How Does a Moment Last Forever" and "Days in the Sun," will also take center stage.
"Beauty and the Beast" features songs from the original animated film's award-winning soundtrack by acclaimed composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman. Complementing the score, the show also includes two of the new songs created for the live-action film by Menken and lyricist Tim Rice, "How Does a Moment Last Forever" and "Days in the Sun." Enchanting arrangements and orchestrations by Matt Castle and Frank Galgano ("Into the Woods") will bring a unique musical identity to the production.

Beloved songs like "Belle," "Something There" and "Beauty and the Beast" will receive a musical makeover that reflect the show's stylized approach, while songs like "Gaston" and "Be Our Guest" will leap to the stage as joyful and exuberant production numbers.

One of the most iconic songs in the Disney canon has been completely re-imagined for the stage. "Be Our Guest" is becoming a multi-course French dinner rooted in imagination and fantasy. Rousing choreography and dazzling visual effects will fill the stage during this full-fledged spectacle.

The enchanted objects will also be brought to life through a combination of costuming and puppeteering.
Blurring the line between costuming and puppetry, costume designer Sarah Cubbage (Broadway's "Skylight") and puppet designer Lake Simons ("Etiquette Unraveled") joined forces to give life to the enchanted objects of "Beauty and the Beast." Beloved characters like Lumiere, Mrs. Potts and Cogsworth are realized in an unprecedented way, using innovative puppetry and elaborate costumes to bring these characters to life in their true scale.
