Synopsis
Beauty and the Beast is a Broadway musical set in a French village, where Belle, a bright young woman, becomes prisoner in the castle of the Beast, a prince under a spell.
As they spend time together, Belle sees beyond the Beast’s appearance and discovers a kind heart.
In the village, Gaston, who wants to marry Belle, leads a mob to kill the Beast.
The Beast is wounded but transforms back into a prince when Belle declares her love, breaking the spell.
The musical ends with Belle and the prince reunited, and the castle’s enchanted inhabitants restored to their human forms.
