==Attraction History==
Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage opened on November 22, 1991 in the Theater of the Stars <ref> http://www.studioscentral.com/attractions/beauty-and-beast </ref>. The premiere took place on the same day that the film Beauty and the Beast was released. The original show featured five songs- Be Our Guest, "Belle" / "Gaston", "Something There", "The Mob Song", and "Beauty and the Beast". Although initially conceived as a temporary attraction, the immense popularity of the show led it to become permanent <ref> http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2004/11/23/501.aspx </ref>. In 1993, the Theater of the Stars was closed to make way for the construction of Sunset Boulevard <ref name= "studios"> http://www.studioscentral.com/column/why-its-there/theater-stars </ref>. On May 28, 1993 Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage was moved to the Backlot Theater on New York Street <ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/10692/Celebrating_the_Silver_Anniversary_of_Disneys_Hollywood_Studios </ref>, before being moved back into a newly constructed Theater of the Stars in 1993 <ref name= "studios"/>.
{{Quotation| "Belle got more adventure, then even she, in her wildest imagination could have dreamt. For through a series of strange circumstances, she found herself held captive inside a dark and foreboding castle, inhabited by a very odd collection of cabinetries."}}

As the narrator talks, Lumière, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts and Chip appear on stage. They then explain that they are inviting Belle (and the audience) to dinner. Lumière welcomes the guests as he announces that "the dining room proudly presents, your dinner". Dancing tableware then begin to sing "Be Our Guest", as Belle watches on in amazement. As the song ends, the scene shifts to the west wing of the castle, where the Beast growls and yells that Belle will only see him as a beast. Mrs. Potts, Lumière, Cogsworth and Chip hopefully explain however, that she might be the one who can break the spell. When Belle enters the room, the Beast yells that he told her never to enter the wing. After an argument, the others tell Beast to apologize, which he does. Belle and the Beast then start to sing "Something There" as they begin to fall in love.
Although initially it seems as though the Beast is dead, Belle's love is enough to reverse the curse. The enchantress then appears back on stage, turning the Beast back into a young prince. The prince and Belle then dance together as Mrs. Potts sing's "Beauty and the Beast". After leaving the stage momentarily, the prince and Belle return in their royal clothes. As the song "Beauty and the Beast" ends, the two kiss, ending the show. After the show, all of the performers come out and take a bow, and a rose is given by Belle and the Prince to a lucky audience member.
