South Portland High School
Presents the Musical
“Beauty and the Beast”
Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Howard Ashman & Tim Rice
Book by Linda Woolverton
The plot is taken from the Disney story.
A prince is changed into a beast and told that before the last petal falls from an enchanted rose he must find true love.
Belle lives in a little town where she is seen as odd by all but Gaston, a handsome, egotistical man who wants to marry her. Her father, an inventor, goes off into the woods with an invention and gets lost, stumbling upon the Beast's castle. The clock and candlestick welcome him, but when the beast finds him, he is locked up. When Belle finds out, she rushes to his aid and trades her freedom for her father’s. The beast is harsh at first but eventually the two develop something more. When it looks as if the beast has found true love, he lets Belle go and Gaston leads a raid on the beast's castle. In a final battle Gaston dies and the Beauty and the Beast live happily ever after.
