Beauty & The Beast Touring Rights

I've been following the trail of the recently released rights for Beauty and the Beast by MTI. This should be an enormous project, with the costumes and staging alone. But I have a feeling it will be very popular and costly to mount.

One of the first professional productions will take place at the North Shore Music Theater in Beverly MA . July 6 through August 1.It stars Brad Little as the Beast.

Here is some follow-up info. that I found. http://www.talkinbroadway.com/allthatchat/display_message.php?id=16173

I was recently a counseler at a drama camp for young kids, and they did a production of beauty and the beast. Of course it wasn't very elaborate but it was cute, and a great show for the age group. I think these were separate rights though (maybe for children's theatre?), because the plot was slightly changed as well as some of the songs.

actually, the non-disney version does have some great music. I was cast in the tour but, backed out before i was supposed to leave for personal reasons. I wish I could see more people doing this version.

I like Brad Little.
