The production is directed by David F.M. Vaughn with musical direction by Michael Borth, and choreography by Bill Burns. This production is made possible through the generous contributions of Honorary Producer KC Wilson; Associate Producers are Universal Care, George & Gloria Deukmejian, Jon & Amanda Hall, Denne & Anne Goldstein, and Evalyn M. Bauer Foundation; and Show Sponsors are Don & Judy McNulty Black, Ethel Severson, Leo & Judith Vander Lans, and Joan Wells.
Musical Theatre West’s production marks a milestone for the prestigious Long Beach producing theatre company. Paul Garman, Executive Director and Producer of the company notes, “Musical Theatre West (MTW) has been waiting for many years to be able to license a Disney show and we hope this will be the first of several Disney shows that will be produced regionally by MTW.” MTW’s production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast coincides with the 20th anniversary of the show.
