The new Mandarin production of the hit Broadway musical BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is set to take the stage at the Walt Disney Grand Theatre in Disneytown next month! Tickets will go on sale starting May 24.

Following a six month search across China, more than 80 performers and crew members were selected to bring the show to life when it premieres at Shanghai Disney Resort this summer. The world-class ensemble of gifted performers includes both well-known and undiscovered Chinese talents of all ages, as well as some international performers.
