The Rose Center Theater is abuzz with anticipation as the countdown begins for their highly-anticipated summer production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. This beloved classic, a staple of childhood wonder, takes on a whole new life on stage, and for the first time ever, the Rose Center Theater will be bringing its magic to Orange County audiences from June 28th through July 14th. This enchanting production boasts a cast brimming with local talent, each bringing their own unique spark to the timeless characters we all know and love.

Leading the charge as the brilliant and compassionate Belle is Olivia Aniceto. Aniceto perfectly embodies Belle's love for learning and her unwavering spirit. "This show has such a beautiful message, embracing all differences no matter how challenging they may be," Aniceto says. "I believe this is something audiences can always relate to and to see it played out in such a magical way is always a treat." Opposite Aniceto as the gruff yet misunderstood Beast is Chris Caputo. With a powerful stage presence, Caputo promises to deliver a performance that will leave audiences both touched and thrilled. "This show is going to be epic!" Caputo declares. "This is a show you won't want to miss. Trust me."

No Beauty and the Beast production is complete without a delightfully villainous Gaston. Enter Matthew Ollson, who brings charisma and comedic flair to the role. "I'm excited for people to experience the magic that is this show," Ollson enthuses. "It's a tale as old as time, but every version has its own take! I'm excited for people to get lost in this magical world for a couple of hours and just enjoy themselves. It's going to be a great time!"

But the magic doesn't stop there! Supporting this stellar cast is a talented ensemble of local actors, singers, and dancers. The production will also feature a delightful youth chorus who will be performing a special pre-show number, adding an extra layer of charm to the experience.

This enchanting production, featuring the unforgettable music of Alan Menken and Tim Rice, promises to be a visual and auditory feast. Audiences of all ages will be captivated by the stunning costumes, elaborate sets, and of course, the heartwarming story that continues to resonate with us all.
