It’s time to dust off your ballgowns and practice your best French accent because the "Tale as Old as Time" is arriving in Fayetteville! From Tuesday, February 3, to Sunday, February 8, 2026, the Walton Arts Center will be transformed into an enchanted castle for the spectacular Broadway musical, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

This isn't just a show; it's a magical experience that invites you to "relax, pull up a chair," and let the dining room proudly present… your dinner! (Well, maybe just a feast for the eyes and ears.)

A Reimagined Classic for a New Generation

This dazzling production is part of the brand-new 30th Anniversary Tour, meaning you’ll see the story you love with fresh energy, breathtaking new sets, and stunning costumes.

The show brings the Oscar-winning animated film to life on stage, featuring all the beloved songs by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, and Tim Rice. You can expect:

• Show-Stopping Numbers: Get ready to cheer for the massive, high-energy performance of "Be Our Guest"—a Technicolor explosion of dancing plates and silverware that brings the house down every night.

• Romance & Magic: Witness the emotional journey of Belle and the Beast as they discover that true beauty is found within.

• Iconic Characters: Laugh along with the charmingly arrogant Gaston, the bumbling Lefou, and the lovable enchanted objects—Lumière, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts.
