Composer Alan Menken won an Oscar for Original Score for his work on the Disney film, as well as an additional win for the title song with his late, frequent collaborator, lyricist Howard Ashman.

Conductor Michael Kosarin will lead the orchestra, principals, and choir through the film’s memorable numbers. The event will also feature Evans performing “Evermore,” a new solo for the Beast written for the 2017 live action adaptation (featuring lyrics by Tim Rice).
