I’m so excited about this one! This is what Oprah calls a full circle moment, for yours truly!

This show was the very first musical I saw on Broadway, in a theater exactly like the one you are sitting in, and it changed my life! It made me dream bigger, it made me want to be a part of this crazy life called showbiz, and it made me want to change someone, the way that I had been forever changed!

There are now, many versions of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast in the World, the famous cartoon, the first one that was ever nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, The Live Action version that came out a few years ago, that brought us a few new songs, and a new revival that will probably be hitting Broadway within the next few years, but this one here, is my favorite. In my opinion, the beloved score, plus the gorgeous songs that were added to further the story, and the immaculate attention to detail in the adaptation for the stage is what a great musical is all about to me!

I don’t need to sell you on this show, everyone knows it, everyone knows the story, and has their own wonderful experience attached, I’m just here with a wish that you enjoy our version, and are forever changed by it, and that maybe, somewhere down the line, you will do the same for someone else!

Love is love is love!

-Ella Woods
