Calling all singers, performers, lovers of Disney and artists: Join the Spring Musical, Beauty and the Beast Jr! 

Based on the original Broadway production that ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, and the Academy Award-winning motion picture, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. is a fantastic adaptation of the story of growing from selfishness to love, and not judging a book by it’s cover.  Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. features some of the most popular songs ever written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice.

The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Mrs. Maria O’Connor is thrilled to return for her 12th production at Blessed Sacrament, working alongside the esteemed Jeanette Berry as the music director.  They can’t wait for you to join them!
