Disney magic has arrived on the Singapore stage with Disney’s Beauty and the Beast the Musical, now playing at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands. This brand-new production of the beloved classic is making its only stop in Asia in Singapore, bringing the timeless story to life for audiences of all ages. From dazzling visuals to unforgettable songs, it promises a magical theatre experience for families, couples, and Disney fans alike.
A Beloved Classic Reimagined
Based on Disney’s iconic 1991 animated film, Beauty and the Beast remains one of Broadway’s most celebrated musicals. The original production ran for more than 13 years and toured 37 countries worldwide. This new production, produced by Disney Theatrical Group and presented in Singapore by Base Entertainment Asia, has been meticulously reimagined with breathtaking sets, elaborate costumes, and cutting-edge stage technology.
Audiences can expect to be transported into the world of Belle and the Beast with spectacular visuals, intricate choreography, and the nostalgic, spellbinding music of Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, and Tim Rice. Iconic songs such as Belle, Gaston, Be Our Guest, and the Oscar-winning title track, Beauty and the Beast, are performed live, keeping the magic alive for longtime fans and first-time viewers alike.
Stellar Cast Bringing the Story to Life
Leading the show are Shubshri Kandiah as Belle and Brendan Xavier as the Beast, both returning to Singapore after acclaimed performances in previous Disney productions. Shubshri is best known locally for her portrayal of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin the Musical (2019), while Brendan captured hearts as Kristoff in Frozen the Musical (2023). Their chemistry on stage brings depth and warmth to the timeless love story.
The supporting cast is equally impressive, featuring Rohan Browne as Lumiere, Gareth Jacobs as Cogsworth, Jayde Westaby as Mrs Potts, Jackson Head as Gaston, Adam Di Martino as Le Fou, and Mark Owen-Taylor as Maurice. Completing the ensemble are talented performers including Hayley Martin as Babette and Alana Tranter as Madame, alongside a versatile ensemble cast that delivers both comedy and emotion, ensuring every scene sparkles with life.
Spellbinding and Family-Friendly Musical
From the moment the curtain rises, Beauty and the Beast the Musical immerses the audience in a magical world of romance, humour, and music. The production strikes a perfect balance between grand spectacle and intimate moments, making it appealing to both adults and children.
The costume and set designs are breathtaking, transporting viewers to the Beast’s castle with elaborate detail, while the lighting and technical effects enhance the enchantment without overwhelming the story. Shubshri and Brendan deliver standout performances, with powerful vocals and expressive acting that bring the characters’ emotions vividly to life. The supporting cast adds humour and charm, particularly during lively ensemble numbers such as Be Our Guest, which is a highlight of the show.
Overall, the musical succeeds in capturing the magic of Disney while offering fresh interpretations that keep the story feeling new and exciting. It is an engaging, heartwarming experience that appeals to both nostalgic adults and young audiences experiencing the tale for the first time.
Beauty and the Beast the Musical in Singapore is more than just a stage show; it’s a full family-friendly experience filled with music, spectacle, and timeless storytelling.
