beauty and the beast

Masterfully directed and choreographed and in keeping with the original direction by Robert Jess Roth, this production of “Beauty and the Beast” is an imaginative treat. But this isn’t just a cartoonish presentation meant for little ones. Indeed, Chicago Shakespeare Theater has spared no expense on this lavish theatrical gem.

This “Beauty and the Beast” is a majestic triumph of vision and art direction; the sets, trappings, and costumes are wonderfully lush and detailed.
