Though most are likely familiar with the story, "Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration" might showcase a new twist on the classic with talents such as H.E.R. and Jon M. Chu behind the live-action and animated project. Viewers can expect contemporary musical performances, costumes, and sets to refresh the original story in this one-night-only extravaganza.
The original plot of "Beauty and the Beast" is based on a French fairytale and tells the story of Belle, who is taken prisoner by a cursed prince-turned-beast, but soon sees a different side of his personality concealed behind the cold exterior. As they proceed to connect through their many conversations, their blossoming love for each other lifts the spell placed on the prince (and the other occupants of his enchanted castle), and the two live happily ever after!
