Featuring Larger-than-Life Puppetry and Direction

by Obie Award-Winner James Ortiz

Skylight Music Theatre presents an inventive new version of André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry's heartwarming, 18th-century light opera, Beauty and the Beast (Zémire et Azor).

Based on the original fairy tale, this dynamic reimagining is a visual spectacle featuring dance and larger-than-life puppetry designed by Obie-award winner James Ortiz, who also serves as stage director and scenic designer. Grétry's score, reminiscent of early Mozart operas, is sung in English and performed live by a 13-piece orchestra under the direction of Shari Rhoads.

The production runs only seven performances, from Friday, March 17 through Sunday, March 26, 2017 in the Cabot Theatre at the Broadway Theatre Center, 158 N. Broadway, Milwaukee, Wis.

Price: Tickets are $25 - $75 (plus tax and fees) and can be purchased in person at the Broadway Theatre Center Box Office or by calling (414) 291-7800, Monday - Saturday, from noon - 6 p.m., and two hours prior to each performance. Tickets may be purchased online at www.skylightmusictheatre.org.
