Beauty and the Beast

Published: May 4, 2022, 1:05 p.m.

It's a tale as old as time, so why not talk about it? John and John discuss the show that started the Broadway/Disney collaboration in "Disney's Beauty and the Beast". They talk about commercialism vs artistic merit, how to portray the fantastical on stage, and the importance of lyricist Howard Ashman to the process.

Music by Alan Menken

Lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice
