Shannon Musical Society, marking its 32nd production announces the staging of the beloved family musical, Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Under the Direction and Choreography of award-winning Oliver Hurley and with Musical Direction by Carmel Griffin, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST opens on Sunday Feb 13th 2010 at St. Patrick's Comprehensive School, Shannon where the show will run til Feb 20th, with a matinee on the 20th. Tickets will be on sale from Mon Feb 8th from the box office in Shannon Town Centre or by calling 086 214 2554. Theatre-style seating will once again be installed this year. Adapted from the Academy Award-winning animated film by its original screenwriter, Linda Woolverton, Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is perfect entertainment for the entire family. The show was nominated for 9 Tony awards and ran on Broadway for 5,464 performances between 1994 and 2007, becoming Broadway's sixth-longest running production in history. The heart-warming musical is the classic love story of Belle, a young woman in a “small, provincial town,” and the Beast, who is really a prince trapped in a spell. If the Beast can learn to love and to be loved, the spell will be broken and he will be transformed back to his former self. However, time is running out, and if the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he will be doomed for all eternity. The unforgettable score with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice includes the Academy Award-winning title song and the show-stopping "Be Our Guest," plus additional songs written especially for the stage. The cast of BEAUTY IN THE BEAST includes Orla Walsh as “Belle", Richie Hayes as “Beast", Aodan Fox as “Lumiere", Anna Maria Barrett Fox as “Mrs. Potts", Pa Hayes as “Cogsworth", as well as many other familiar faces in Shannon. Those of you who were fortunate enough to attend last years show All Shook Up will be delighted to see Gary Keane back on stage playing the part of "Gaston". Gary won the 'Adjudicators Special Award' at the AIMS awards ceremony last year in Killarney. SMS is also very excited to be hiring the touring costumes from the UK so it's sure to be a visual feast.
