(AP) The show that brought Disney to Broadway is taking its final bow today.
"Beauty and the Beast" is closing after 13 years and more than five thousand performances. In its place will be a stage version of "The Little Mermaid," which debuts in December.
"Beauty and the Beast" currently stars Deborah Lew as Belle, the young woman who transforms a morose creature with the power of her love. The creature is portrayed by Steve Blanchard.
The show debuted in 1994 at the Palace Theatre and transferred to the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in 1999.
Only one of the original cast members has been with the show through the years: Bill Nabel, who plays the corkscrew during a production number that features enchanted utensils.
