Hoosick School Dist.

In just four weeks, the Hoosick Falls Central School’s Drama Club will be performing Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” and like many musicals in the past, it is offered as free entertainment to people of all ages. The performances are on Friday and Saturday, March 22 and 23, beginning at 7 pm, with the final performance on Sunday, March 24, at 2 pm. Food and beverages will be available for purchase during the intermission in the cafeteria.
The movie and musical have won many awards and have several unforgettable songs and moments.  Lumiere (the candelabra) sings the show-stopping “Be Our Guest” and Mrs. Potts sings the eternal and Oscar winning “Beauty and the Beast” while Belle and Beast dance together.  The music is wonderful, and the performance promises to be full of laughs and tears. This promises to be an enormous show, with over 60 middle and high school students involved in the production, along with several elementary students as well.
