The tale may be as old as time, but the musical "Beauty and the Beast" is timeless. "Beauty and the Beast" is a musical about loving someone for what’s on the inside, and teaches us that looks aren’t everything.
High school is a hard time for people. It seems like the only thing people care about are looks. "Beauty and the Beast" is a great play for a high school to do. It has a great story line about inner beauty.
“I was temporarily crazy when I chose it, but also it’s familiar. People know the songs, and it lends itself for a large cast,” said Mr. Lynch. "Beauty and the Beast" is familiar to people, and it’s easy to see why Mr.Lynch chose it for this year’s spring production.
Accoding to SurLaLune Fairy Tales, "Beauty" ran on Broadway for 5,464 perfomances between 1994 and 2007, becoming Broadway’s seventh-longest running production in history. The musical has grossed more that $1.4 billion (Mr. Lynch isn’t expecting to get quite that much) worldwide and played in thirteen countries and 115 cities. It has also become a very popular choice for high school productions.
Paris Cooperative High School puts on huge productions every spring. Everyone in the town of Paris always comes to see the plays. Mr. Lynch chooses the plays he thinks students could relate to the most. All of the plays are always bigger and better than the last.
“This production is going to be huge! Massive costumes, this play will be signifacntly different," said Mr. Lynch.
