Activities Announced for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre August 20 – 24

Disney Theatrical Group, under the direction of Andrew Flatt, Anne Quart, and Thomas Schumacher, Shea’s Performing Arts Center, and Broadway presenting partner Albert Nocciolino are pleased to bring Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, the first North American touring production of the musical presented by Disney in over 25 years, to Buffalo next week. The enchanting and timeless Broadway musical, a Shea’s special subscriber add-on sponsored by Gallagher, will run for eight performances at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre from Wednesday, August 20th to Sunday, August 24th. Shea’s also announced details about activities planned during the limited engagement.

Family Night: Shea’s, in conjunction with Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and promotional partner Wegmans, is hosting Family Night for the 7:30pm performance on Saturday, August 23rd. A limited number of Buy One, Get One 50% Off tickets are available for this special performance using the promo code Wegmans25 when purchasing tickets here. Before the show, join Shea’s Arts Engagement and Education Department in Shea’s Smith Theatre from 6-7:30pm for pre-show crafts, a story hour, and other family-friendly activities.

Beauty of a Book Drive: During Beauty and the Beast, you are invited to share the gift of reading by donating a new or gently used book. Just as Belle sees books as windows to opportunity, your donation will help open new worlds for readers in the community. All books will be redistributed during Shea’s free family events. Simply drop your book at the box office or the theatre doors before a performance and help us celebrate the magic of stories, both on stage and on the page!

ASL & Talkback Performances: Stick around after the 7pm performance on Friday, August 22nd, for a special talkback with members of the Beauty and the Beast cast. An American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter will be present for the 2pm performance on Saturday, August 23rd.

Cashless Concessions: Beginning this season, Shea’s will be a cashless venue to provide a faster, smoother pre-show and intermission experience. All concession, bar, and merchandise purchases can be made by credit card, debit card, gift card, or mobile wallet. This transition will reduce the lines and provide shorter wait times, so patrons can enjoy the lobby experience and return to their seats before the lights dim.
