Beauty and the Beast at the SHN Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco presents the Broadway-style musical adaptation of Disney’s animated classic, featuring the film’s familiar score and a family-friendly, theatrical retelling. The show is typically mounted by a touring company with lavish sets, large-cast numbers, and period costumes, staged in the Orpheum’s landmark, cathedral-inspired auditorium. This pairing of a widely produced, crowd-pleasing musical with one of San Francisco’s historic performance venues makes the engagement a marquee offering for local theater audiences.
