Synopsis<br />
Once upon a time in a faraway land, an Enchantress turns a cruel, unfeeling Prince into a hideous<br />
Beast. To break the spell, the Beast must learn to love another and earn her love in return before<br />
the last petal falls from an enchanted rose.<br />
Ten years later, in a small village far below the Beast's castle, a beautiful and intelligent young<br />
woman, Belle, yearns for something more than her provincial life ("Belle"). On his way to show his<br />
invention at a fair, Belle's father, Maurice, gets lost and seeks shelter in a castle. Enchanted<br />
Servants - Cogsworth, Lumiere, Babette, Mrs. Potts and Chip - try to make Maurice comfortable,<br />
but the Beast imprisons the intruder. To the dismay of the Silly Girls who fawn over Gaston, the<br />
village brute proposed to Belle, who turns him down ("Belle - Reprise").<br />
When Belle sees Gaston's sidekick Lefou wearing her father's scarf, Belle runs off to search for<br />
him. Belle finds her missing father at the castle and offers herself in exchange for his freedom. The<br />
Beast agrees, sends Maurice back to the village, and escorts Belle to her bedroom, where she<br />
considers what she has done ("Home"). Seeing their guest forlorn, Mrs. Potts and Madame de la<br />
Grande Bouch comfort Belle ("Home - Tag").<br />
In the village tavern, Lefou and the Villagers try to lift Gaston's spirits ("Gaston"). When "crazy old"<br />
Maurice barges in claiming that he has seen a Beast, Gaston and Lefou form a plan to win Belle<br />
("Gaston - Reprise"). At the castle, the Servants coach the Beast on how to act like a gentleman.<br />
When Belle refuses to accept the Beast's invitation to dinner, he loses his temper and tells her to<br />
starve.<br />
However, Lumiere and the Servants offer Belle an extravagant feast anyway ("Be Our Guest").<br />
While Cogsworth gives Belle a tour of the castle, she wanders off into the forbidden West Wing.<br />
The Beast discovers her there and explodes, which causes the frightened Belle to flee the castle.<br />
In the forest, Belle is attacked by wolves. The Beast saves her but is injured in the process.<br />
Having a change of heart, Belle helps the Beast back to the castle and dresses his wounds. The<br />
Servants recognise something different between Belle and the Beast ("Something There") and<br />
express their hope that the spell may soon be broken ("Human Again"). Now dressed in a stunning<br />
gown, Belle dances with the Beast ("Beauty and the Beast").<br />
Despite this new friendship, Belle longs to see her father. Using the Beast's magic mirror, Belle<br />
sees that Maurice is in trouble, so the Beast lets her go. Belle finds Maurice in the forest and takes<br />
him home to the village, where Gaston has arranged for Monsieur D'Arque to take him to the<br />
lunatic asylum. Belle proves that her father is not crazy by showing the Beast in the Magic Mirror.<br />
Jealous of Belle's affection for someone else, Gaston whips the Villagers into a frenzy to storm the<br />
castle and kill the Beast ("The Mob Song"). While the Servants defend the castle from the<br />
Villagers' attack, Gaston confronts and stabs the Beast in the West Wing, then runs away in shame<br />
when the Beast refuses to kill him. Belle arrives and holds the dying Beast in her arms ("Home -<br />
Reprise"), while her weeping breaks the spell. The Beast transforms back into the Prince, the<br />
Servants become human again, and they all live happily ever after ("Finale").
