..:: A little something about the musical ::..

The Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast was an adaptation of the classic Disney movie. It’s a story about a young maiden named Belle who, in order to save her father’s life, chooses to live in a castle with a prince who was cursed to look like a beast unless the prince can find love.

Chip is the young, naïve, and innocent son of the housekeeper Mrs. Potts. He was turned into a teacup from the spell placed on the castle
