What a ‘Beauty’

A classic comes to life this month.

On May 22, the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts does “Beauty and the Beast,” presented by the American Family Theater.

Imprisoned by a monstrous Beast, a young girl learns that outward appearances can be deceiving and, with a magic kiss, frees the Beast from his curse.

The show is recommended for ages 4 and up — and, in case you have any fans Disney, just be forewarned that this isn’t a version of that film. So no singing clocks and teacups.

“Beauty and the Beast” at Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts [2900 Campus Rd. at Hillel Place in Flatbush, (718) 951-4500], May 22 at 2 pm. Tickets $6, $7 at the door. For info, visit www.brooklyncenter.com.
