One of the most famous love stories ever told comes to Jackson in October: Disney's "Beauty and the Beast." W. Kessler Ltd. brings the musical, based on a French fairy tale, to Thalia Mara Hall (225 E. Pascagoula St.) Oct. 18 to 20.

The time-honored fairy tale tells of the romance between Belle, the beautiful daughter of a captured merchant, and Beast, a cursed prince. Walt Disney Feature Animation adapted the story of love and acceptance to animated film in 1991. The stage musical is based on the Disney film, adapted by Linda Woolverton, Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. "Beauty and the Beast" features Dane Agostinis as "Beast" and Emily Behny as "Belle."
