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.
The show runs from July 17th through the 27th. Tickets are $17 for
adults, $16 for seniors and $9 for students.
