"Beauty and the Beast" in Ashland


   Taking the stage this week in Ashland is the touring version of the Broadway show Beauty and the Beast.

   You can read all about it in the Herald-Dispatch in this story by Derek Halsey. Here's an excerpt:
   In New York City, Disney has three Broadway musicals going strong with the long-successful The Lion King, Mary Poppins and the Tony Award-winning Newsies. But the company's first triumph on Broadway was Beauty and the Beast. The production ran for 13 years becoming one of the top 10 longest running shows in Broadway history.
   Now, Disney has revived the Beauty and the Beast musical, bringing back many of the original creatives who brought the show to life nearly 20 years ago. One stop on this new tour is the Paramount Arts Center in Ashland. 
   Beauty and the Beast will take the stage Thursday, Jan. 10. The show begins at 7 p.m., and tickets range from $45 to $65. The Paramount Arts Center is located at 1300 Winchester Ave., in Ashland.
