/* 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>.
