Halloween: The Musical takes a look into the everyday lives of your favorite Halloween
characters. In a small diner owned and operated by the Grim Reaper, monsters from across the
globe are preparing to announce their existence to humans in the form of a nationally televised
cabaret show. See such acts as a stand-up mummy comic, an adolescent Frankenstein’s
monster crooner, and a chorus of tap dancing skeletons. But beware, for not everyone is
willing to let the monsters make their existence known! With memorable characters, upbeat
music, and a healthy dose of physical comedy, this new musical will provide entertainment for the
entire family.

Book by Linda Woolverton.

Lyrics by Howard Ashman
and Tim Rice.
This “tale as old as time” is
based on the animated Disney
feature. Set in a lovely French
town, this musical tells the
story of Belle, who must give
up her own freedom to save her
father from a horrible beast and
enchanted castle. While living in
the castle, Belle comes to know,
understand, and eventually fall
in love with the Beast, who is
the victim of a spell cast many
years earlier. Audiences will
be captivated by the enchanting
tale, complete with new songs
in addition to favorites from the
classic animated movie.
