Disney Cruise Line [1] is known for a few things including an abundance of Mickey-shaped treats [2] on board, their private island Castaway Cay, and Broadway-style shows including Frozen, Beauty and the Beast, and Tangled: The Musical. Since the ships currently are not sailing, Disney Cruise Line is bringing a bit of onboard entertainment right to people's homes with a virtual viewing of Beauty and the Beast.
The performance includes a variety of scenes from the show, including ones with songs kids can belt out and have their own Disney sing-a-long [3] with, like "Gaston," "Be Our Guest," and "Tale as Old as Time." The show does include narration of the story of Beauty and the Beast, as well as a few behind the scenes clips of the cast and crew showing how the production came to life.
The best part of the stage show is the end, where Belle and her prince dance as the enchantment is lifted off the castle and all who live inside of it. This is where you'll hear a familiar song from the live-action Beauty and the Beast, "How Does a Moment Last Forever."
Not only will kids enjoy reliving a Disney holiday [5] they might have experienced, they will also love seeing characters they know and singing and dancing along at home just like Belle, Beast, Gaston, and all their friends.
