Belle, wanting only a garden in which to plant and nurture the flowers she loves, journies to the castle of the Beast where she encounters an ill-mannered, ill-tempered creature wildly disappointed that Belle cannot undo the curse placed upon him. A delightful talking table and chair help Belle feel at home as she explores with the Beast the simple joy of planting flowers together, acting out adventurous stories, and resolving the misunderstandings that erupt when expectations cannot be fulfilled. This new musical celebrates choices, nurturing friendships, and the victory of kindness and acceptance that can grow into forgiveness  … of someone else and of our selves.
