This classicmusical love story is returning
to Bass Concert Hall in Austin, and we will
attend the 1 p.m. matinee. Based on Disney’s
Academy Award-winning animated film, this
eye-popping spectacle has won the hearts of
millions of people worldwide. This romantic story is filled with
unforgettable characters, lavish sets, costumes, dazzling produc-

and the transformation!
