After enchanting audiences for more than 13 years, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast will take its final bow at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre (205 West 46th Street) on Sunday, July 29. The Broadway production will have played 46 previews and 5,464 regular performances. For more information on Beauty and the Beast visit BeautyandtheBeast.com
BroadwayWorld.com held a contest where we asked our readers to submit their favorite Beauty and the Beast memory - on stage or off. With over 1,000 incredible entries, it proved extremely difficult for the staff to select only five. From poignant to hysterical, the submissions ages ranged from 10 to 80 - a clear indication of how this musical has affected both young and old alike in its 13+ year run. BroadwayWorld would like to thank everyone that entered for their time, energy and wonderful passion with this contest. It was a genuine thrill for all of us to discuss the selections. So, without any more fanfare, here are the lucky 5 winners (who will all be contacted by email) who will each receive a pair of tickets to the final performance help on Sunday, July 29th. Congratulations!
