"Beauty" and "Beast" from Theatre West appear on News Extra

The final production of the Theatre West Summer Repertory season is "Beauty and the Beast". Cast members Aimie Adams, who plays the beauty and Jared Flodman, who plays the beast join Kevin Mooney on KNEB's News Extra program Thursday morning. 



 After a handsome but conceited prince treats a beggar woman poorly, the woman turns out to be a beautiful enchantress and turns the prince into a beast.   Further, the prince’s staff is all transformed into objects to do with their profession.  The prince is given a magical mirror to view the outside world.  To break the spell, he needs to learn to love a person for who they are, and get  her to love him before a magical rose loses its petals.  Meanwhile in a nearby village, a beautiful young bookworm (Belle) feels lonely and out of place.  She lives with her eccentric but kind father, Maurice.  Soon Maurice goes off to compete at an inventor’s fair but gets lost in the woods and ends up a prisoner at the beast’s castle.  Belle eventually finds the castle and makes a deal with the beast to let her  father go in return for her staying there with the beast.  As the beast’ inner kindness slowly reveals itself, Belle grows to be in love with him.   However, a jilted, self-centered and overly-masculine suitor from Belle’s village, Gaston, takes a posse to “save” her from the beast.
