In an effort to promote Disney’s upcoming live-action Beauty and the Beast there have been some enhancements at Walt Disney World including a transformation for the Beast. At Beauty and the Beast- Live on Stage, there is a new pre-show.
In this new-preshow, the host comes on stage to discuss the upcoming live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. He mentions there are some new surprises along the way including a song that Maurice sings to Belle when she asks about her mother. The host then sings the song which is making its public debut. During his performance of “Our Song Lives On,” the host brings up a father and daughter onto the stage.
But that is not the only change. In the show, and other locations such as Magic Kingdom’s Be Our Guest restaurant, The Beast has a new look. You can see his before and after here:
