Area Stage

After two sold out runs at the Adrienne Arsht Center of the Performing Arts, Area Stage is proud to bring back our critically acclaimed immersive production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast for one final encore run.

Described by one critic as a “visionary, urgent deconstruction,” this unique reimagining of the Tony-nominated musical invites audiences to step firsthand into the Belle's enchanted world. Once you decide to “Be Our Guest” and join us in the Beast’s castle, you’ll find yourself right in the middle of the action, which takes place throughout the theatre space rather than on a single stage. Beauty and the Beast's classic story of love and transformation is more exciting and affecting than ever in this resonant retelling, which has delighted and amazed audience members of all ages.

The Little Mermaid

The team behind Area Stage's award winning immersive productions of Disney's Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid are proud to present a new, epic staging of Lionel Bart's classic musical based on the Charles Dickens novel, Oliver Twist. The Tony and Olivier Award-winning show is one of the few musicals to win an Academy Award for Best Picture and is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece by actors and audience members alike.

The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.
