[Media Preview] Beauty and the Beast; The Original Broadway Musical Spectacular


" Tale as old as time,
True as it can be,
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly..
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast.. "

Do you remembe this lovely song from Beauty and the Beast?
One of the most beautiful and romantic fairytale story created by Disney.
Till today, i smiled re-watching it! :)
