Olivier award-winning Beauty and the Beast production to come to Edinburgh Playhouse as part of 2021 UK tour

Beauty and the Beast will show at Edinburgh Playhouse at the end of 2021.
Beauty and the Beast will show at Edinburgh Playhouse at the end of 2021.

The Oliver Award-winning stage musical Beauty and the Beast will come to Edinburgh next year as part of its 2021 UK tour.

Re-imagined and re-designed in a completely new production, but staged by the original award-winning creative team, the timeless Disney classic will show at Edinburgh Playhouse from October 21 to November 27 2021.

The show will feature revamped and new designs as well as iconic songs composed by Alan Menken: Be Our Guest and Beauty and the Beast.

Tickets go on sale to ATG Theatre Card holders on November 20, with general sale opening on November 26.

The original West End production of Beauty and the Beast opened at the Dominion Theatre in April 1997, playing over 1100 performances to more than two million people.

It won the 1998 Olivier Award for Best Musical and enjoyed a hugely successful UK and Ireland tour in 2001.

Based on the 1991 film – the first animated feature ever nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture – Beauty and the Beast opened on Broadway in April 1994 and garnered nine Tony nominations and one win.

It played for more than 13 years on Broadway, closing in 2007, and remains to this day – 26 years after it opened – among the top 10 longest running shows in Broadway history.

Eight-time Oscar winning composer, Alan Menken said: “Beauty and the Beast is a testament to the genius of my late friend and collaborator Howard Ashman, but the show’s richness comes from the combination of Howard’s style and that of the brilliant Tim Rice, with whom I expanded the score to give voice to the Beast.

“It’s clear that audiences the world over want to return to the world of Beauty, which continues to amaze and humble those of us who created it. As the show returns to the UK, I cannot wait to see how Rob Roth and this glorious creative team bring the whole universe of Beauty and the Beast to  life once again.”
