About Disney's Beauty and the Beast the Musical

Beauty and the Beast is a musical based on the 1991 Disney animated film of the same name. The stage adaptation features music by Academy Award winner Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and a book by Linda Woolverton. The original Broadway production opened in 1994 at the Palace Theatre and ran for 5,461 performances over 13 years, becoming one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history and helping to establish Disney as a major force on the Great White Way.

The new North American touring production launched in June 2025, marking the first major North American production in over 25 years. Directed and choreographed by Matt West, the show features scenic design by Stanley A. Meyer, Tony Award-winning costume design by Ann Hould-Ward, and lighting design by Tony winner Natasha Katz. The tour stars Kyra Belle Johnson as the spirited Belle and Fergie L. Philippe as the Beast, alongside Stephen Mark Lukas as Gaston, Danny Gardner as Lumiere, Kathy Voytko as Mrs. Potts, and Javier Ignacio as Cogsworth.

The score features the beloved songs from the animated film — including the Academy Award-winning title song "Beauty and the Beast," the showstopping "Be Our Guest," "Something There," "Belle," and "Gaston" — along with additional songs written for the Broadway production including "If I Can't Love Her" and "Home." The music of Alan Menken and the lyrics of Howard Ashman and Tim Rice remain as enchanting as ever, and a full orchestra brings the lush arrangements to glorious life at every performance.

At the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts, Beauty and the Beast will play eight performances from September 8 through September 13, 2026. The venue, located at 255 South Almaden Boulevard in downtown San Jose, seats approximately 2,700 guests and is part of the Broadway San Jose season.
