New ‘Beauty and the Beast’ takes to the sea aboard Disney Dream

Jackie Sheckler Finch

A tale as old as time will take to the stage of the Disney Dream beginning Nov. 6 when the ship sails three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral, Florida.

The brand-new musical production was inspired, of course, by Disney’s new live-action adaptation of the animated classic that is now thrilling theater audiences.

The enchanting fairytale spotlights the power of transformation through true love and courage. The new Dream production combines the magic of both the live-action 2017 film and the award-winning 1991 animated feature.

Songs from both films will be part of the Dream production. One of the most iconic songs will be completely re-imagined for the stage. “Be Our Guest” is becoming a multi-course French dinner for the stage.

Beloved characters like Lumiere, Mrs. Potts and Cogsworth will be brought to life through creative puppetry and elaborate costumes for the Dream presentation.

The 4,000- passenger Disney Dream was launched Jan. 26, 2011. One of the most popular features is the ship’s first-ever water roller coaster at sea – the Aqua Duck is 250 yards of transparent tubing that sends guests soaring over the top decks and at one point – over the ocean.

The Dream also has a bonus for passengers in inside staterooms – each inside stateroom has a “virtual” porthole showing rolling waves and Disney characters swimming by all in HD.
