Wilton Children’s Theater Presents Disney’s Beauty and the Beast

Wilton Children’s Theater presents its much-anticipated spring show: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast! Our cast of 55 students (between fourth and eighth grade) has been working hard combining dialogue, music, and amazing choreography. The show will run approximately two hours and is perfect for families and children. The actors have been expertly guided by director Maria McConville and producers Mandy Dugan and Tara Kovach. Ben McCormack has taken the helm as musical director and Wilber Escobar choreographed the intricate dance numbers that will dazzle audiences.

Performances are on Friday, Mar. 18 at 7 p.m., Saturday, Mar. 19 at 4 p.m., and Sunday, Mar. 20 at 2 p.m. in the Middlebrook School auditorium. Tickets are available at the door or at on the Wilton Children’s Theater website.

Adult tickets are $15.00, and student tickets are $10.00.

Producer Tara Kovach expressed, “We are thrilled to announce the directorial debut of Maria McConville. The expertise she has shared with our actors is sure to delight our audiences. Our exciting musical numbers and dancing will have you wanting to ‘be our guest’ all weekend.”

This “tale as old as time” 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 into 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.
