REVIEW Highlights: Beauty and the Beast, PCPA, 6/20/17

"Truly enchanting. PCPA's treatment of the tale is nothing short of spectacular. This show is a masterful example of the world-class theater to be found right here in Santa Maria."

- Santa Maria Sun

"PCPA pulls out all the stops for the show-stopping "Be Our Guest," allowing audiences to take in the full scope of [Michael] Jenkinson's complex choreography and Jason Bolen's romantic rose garden of a set while marveling at the intricacies of Judith A. Ryerson's costumes. With a live-action version of Beauty and the Beast slated to open in movie theaters in March, now is the perefect time to revisit the story of Belle and her Beast. PCPA's splendid production will remind theatergoers why this fairy tale remains truly timeless. "

- The Tribune

"It is a tremendous production, deftly directed by Mark Booher. Of course, the success of the production lies directly with the cast and they deliver in a big way. PCPA acting intern Annali Fuchs is simply charming as Belle, the beauty of the title. ...the production is first-class throughout. It is a heartwarming story of home and love and it is well worth a visit."
