Beauty and the Beast at Stamford's Palace Theater with Special Red Carpet Pre-Show

10/12/15 - By Linda DiProperzio

If anyone in your household is planning on trick-or-treating in princess attire this Halloween season, we know something that will make their weekend even more exciting: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, the Broadway musical, is coming to Stamford. What could be more thrilling than watching the live stage show, then taking to the streets in a Belle dress and trick-or-treating with Be Our Guest still ringing in your ears?

Our sponsor The Palace Theater is not only hosting the only two Connecticut performances on this national tour, but also inviting families to attend the preshow festivities in costume and strike a pose on the red carpet. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated film, Beauty and the Beast features a spooky castle, a beast cursed by a witch’s spell and a colorful cast of characters—but with a happy ending the entire family will love.

The shows at Stamford's Palace Theater are scheduled for Friday, October 30 at 7:30pm and Saturday, October 31 at 11:30am. Preshow festivities start one hour before show time, when families can walk the red carpet into the vintage Vaudeville theater and pose with their favorite character cutouts—kids will feel like they stepped into the world of Belle and her Beast. There will also be craft activities suitable for all ages.

In the spirit of Halloween weekend, everyone who arrives in costume will receive a prize, but the costume deemed best on the carpet will win a Family Four Pack of tickets to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer; The Musical. There will be a few extra surprises as well for those dressed as characters from Beauty and the Beast, and a local florist will be on hand to pass out roses to all of the honored guests.

Ticket prices for the show start at $35. For more information and to purchase tickets, go to The Palace Theater’s website. And for more seasonal fun, check out our Halloween Guide.
