It’s back! One of the most beloved stage shows based on an iconic Disney movie is coming back to Walton Arts Center in early February. And this week we’re giving away two tickets to see the opening night performance of Beauty and the Beast on stage at Walton Arts Center on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at 7pm.
This show is so close to my heart because I took my daughter to see it when she was 3 or 4, worrying the whole time that she might not be able to sit still long enough to see it. But when the curtain went up, that little girl was mesmerized and didn’t move for two hours. Fast forward 15 years, now that same girl is a theatre major at University of Arkansas. We’ve already booked tickets to see this incredible show again to celebrate the beginning of her love for live theatre.
Here’s a video sneak peek at this stunning show:

Want to take my u of a daughter to this as I took my son many years ago and would love to have her see it too
One of our favorite inspiring moments is when Belle offers to take her sick father’s place as the Beast’s prisoner. She is one very brave girl who sets an exemplary example of sacrifice. My granddaughter Bella would LOVE to experience Belle and this most special play in person!

Belle is my sister and four year old daughter’s favorite princess. Would love for her to experience Belle live.
I would love to see this performance! I’ve only seen the movie. I love any of the scenes that show Belle’s character. She’s a great example of a kind and giving person to us all.
