‘Beauty and the Beast’

“Beauty and the Beast” waltzes into the Bronx House from Feb. 19 through 29.

Disney’s adaptation of the classic is performed by more than 30 students at Bronx House and the Riverdale Children’s Theatre (pictured in rehearsal).

The tale that’s old as time is the story 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.

“Beauty and the Beast,” Feb. 19, 20, 26, 27 at 7 pm; Feb. 20, 21, 27 and 29 at 2 pm. Tickets are $10.
