Summary[]
The 20-minute show, which takes place in the secluded Fairytale Garden tucked behind and to the right of Cinderella Castle, involves lots of audience participation, encouraging children to become part of the show. Several times a day, Belle delights children with her retelling of the story of Beauty and the Beast. Once the story was under way and Belle was choosing Gaston, Beast and Maurice from among the seated audience members, Belle's helper led the whole group of girls up on the stage and began outfitting them as Lumiere, Cogsworth, Chip Potts and Mrs. Potts. Under the guidance of Belle's helper, the children were able to dance with Belle and the Beast (a father chosen from the audience) and follow a few other simple stage directions.
