PNC Broadway Opens ‘Disney’s Beauty and the Beast’ at Benedum (Tue., 2/24/26)

DISNEY’S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.  National touring company via PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh. February 24 – March 1. 

There’s a variation of “You might be a redneck” called “You might be an intellectual.” For instance: If your favorite version of Beauty and the Beast is Jean Cocteau’s magnificently haunting black-and-white film, in French, with subtitles, you might be an intellectual! Normal folks know that the definitive version is the Disney animated movie. And if they’re fans of live theater, they love the musical adapted from it, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. This musical deepens the complexity of the characters of Belle and the Beast, so that normal folks don’t have to read Dostoevsky to get stories with psychological depth. The musical even has more songs than the movie and Dostoevsky combined. The current national touring production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is almost sold out so visit the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s website soon for tickets and more information. Presented as part of the PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh series at Benedum Center. 7:30 p.m. 237 7^th St., Cultural District. (M.V.)
