Beauty and the Beast. Really. - Paperback

by Rick Abbot (Author)

Children's musical

Characters: 3 male 4 female

Set: Exterior and Interior

Unexpected and hilarious twists make this version of the classic an entirely different romp for the whole family. The cast of seven play nine roles: Beauty The Beast Father Mother Stepsister Boyfriend a hound dog a theatrical entrepreneur and a hopelessly inept tap dancer whose thankless job is to distract the audience during the scene alterations. There is only a single set that ingeniously converts from farm to castle and back again in a few seconds. Underlying the hilarity is a solid message about true beauty.
