This weekend, the curtain goes up on “Beauty and the Beast,” Cedar Ridge High School‘s spring musical.

Featuring a gifted cast and inventive costumes, “Beauty and the Beast” is a stage adaptation of the classic Disney film about a selfish prince trapped in a cursed castle, an adventurous woman trapped in a small provincial town, and the love they come to share. (There is also a talking clock.)

Four of the student actors – Keegan Welford-Small (Beast), Sean Purner (Cogsworth), Kristi Lescinski (Belle), and Evynne Franklin (Mrs. Potts) – stopped by WCHL this week and discussed the show with Aaron Keck.

 

The show opened on Friday, April 15, and runs through Saturday, April 16, with showtimes at 7 pm both nights. Tickets are $15 at the door.
