The Masquerade Theatre  Staging Houston's Finest.       Come experience a "tale as old as time" once more with Masquerade's production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. In a small provincial town, the beautiful Belle and her inventor father live in relative happiness.  When her father does not return from the local fair, Belle rushes off to find him and finds that he has been taken captive in an old castle by a terrible Beast, and in an act of desperation she trades her freedom for his.  How Belle tames the unfortunate Beast and his ultimate transformation into a handsome prince continues to delight audiences around the world.  Featuring Alan Menken's award-winning score with all the songs from the movie as well as new songs written for the stage, Masquerade is pleased to bring Beauty and the Beast back to downtown Houston.
