“After 25 years, this is the first production that Disney has put on of ‘Beauty and the Beast,'” Johnson teases. “It’s the original team, it’s the people who helped bring the movie together and then who helped bring the Broadway show to the stage. It’s going to be rethought but in the hands of people who really care about it the most.”
“We can’t wait for you to be our guest,” Philippe slyly added.
