Disney's Beauty and the Beast comes to the Straz Center Tampa
Wednesday, May 6, 2015
A tale as old as time came to life last night in Tampa Bay. Disney's Beauty and the Beast charmed the Straz Center as kids of all ages were enchanted by the Disney musical adaptation based on the 1991 Best Picture Oscar Nominee.
This romantic broadway musical is perfect for all ages. I was in Middle School when Beauty and the Beast was released and it is still one of my favorite Disney animated movies. My husband and I attended the show with our friends Ashley and Ryan who moved to Tampa last summer. This was their first and surely not their last visit to the Straz Center.
It was amazing seeing all of our favorite songs come to stage. Ashely and I found ourselves fighting the urge to sing Be Our Guest. The cast did an amazing job bringing all the unforgettable characters to life.
Prior to getting into our amazing seats, we visited Straz's coffee shop "Steam Heat" and found they had themed drinks for this showing. How delicious do these drinks sound! I personally liked "The Gaston".
The sets, costume and production numbers did not disappoint. I had very high expectations going into this show and they were more than met. My husband proclaimed this was his second favorite broadway show. I can easily say it is my favorite production to date.
Disney's Beauty and the Beast tickets range from $35-$130 a seat and the production will be inTampa through May 10th. Running time is approximately 2 hours 30 minutes, including one 20 minute intermission. Click here for more information
