Beauty And The Beast at Durham Performing Arts Center

Beauty And The Beast is one of those stories that can be challenging to showcase on stage, primarily because the audience tends to know the plot rather well. People already know what's going to happen, and yet on every performance these performers have the audience fixed on them throughout the entire show. How do they do it? Well, we can't reveal all of those secrets here, but there are some things that are essential to the success of this show. The first one centers on the costumes and the set design. In any stage show, these elements need to be able to transport the crowd into the world of the play. This is something that is done beautifully for Beauty and the Beast.

The next thing that makes this an iconic show are the songs. Again, these might be tracks that you've experienced on multiple occasions. "Tale as Old as Time", "Human Again" or "Gaston" sung by the anti-hero of the story. All of the musical numbers have been edited to fit the actors who are going to gracefully. Also, they are woven into the story seamlessly. That's something that's crucial with these musicals. You don't want to have random moments of characters bursting into song out of the blue, not even following the plot. This is not something that you're going to see play out on Wednesday 10th September 2025 at the Durham Performing Arts Center. On the contrary, these songs from the original plot fit the stage show perfectly. They actually help create anticipation at pivotal moments in the plot. That's always something you're looking for in a musical.
