Beauty and the Beast

Exciting news from our friends with the Brick Childen's Community Theatre, they are planning to perform a Disney classic as their big summer production this season here in Ocean County.

The eight-episode show will focus on Gaston and LeFou.

  The Ocean County Vocational Technical School .... Performing Arts Academy, presents their production of Disney's "Beauty & the Beast" this weekend at the Strand Center for the Arts, Clifton Avenue in Lakewood. Showtimes: 2/23, 2/24: 7pm 2/24: 2pm CALL THE BOX OFFICE AT 732-367-7789    

The tale as old as time (OK, that’s an exaggeration) is returning to theaters this spring with Disney’s new live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast. With less than two months left to go until the studio’s latest reimagining (and guaranteed box-office hit) arrives, Disney has revealed when we’ll see the new — and final — trailer, and as an added bonus, they’ve thrown in some enchanted motion posters.

We’ve only seen brief glimpses of Emma Watson’s Belle in Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast following some leaked photos. But now we’re getting the first look at her dressed up in the classic yellow gown alongside the Beast.

It’s been about four months since Disney premiered the first teaser for their live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, and the wait for the official, full-length trailer hasn’t gotten any easier. Following last week’s reveal of concept art and behind-the-scenes photos, the studio has debuted a clip from a new sneak peek that’s included on the upcoming 25th anniversary release of the animated classic.

Last Friday, producer Jack Morrissey posted several pieces of concept art and behind-the-scenes photos from Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast remake. It gave us our first real look at Luke Evans’ dastardly Gaston, as well as Lumiere and Cogsworth, voiced by Ewan McGregor and Ian McKellen, respectively. It looks like we should’ve kept an eye on Morrissey’s Facebook page because the producer shared one more photo later in the day, and this one gives us our first behind-the-scenes look at Dan Stevens as the eponymous Beast.
