The East Meadow High School Theatre Guild and Music Department recently captivated audiences with performances of the musical production “Beauty and the Beast,” directed by band teacher Christopher Hale. “Beauty and the Beast” tells the tale of a young prince who was cast under a spell, changing him into a hideous beast. Loving another and earning their love in return is the only way to break this curse. Belle is a beautiful and headstrong young woman who takes the place of her imprisoned father in the Beast’s enchanted castle. During her time with the Beast, she teaches him to be gentle and kind. The two fall in love, breaking the spell and transforming the Beast back into a prince.
The student cast impressed the audience with their exceptional performances, and the student orchestra, conducted by Joel Levy, provided harmonious musical accompaniment. The production was met with rave reviews from students, parents and community members.
