Nominated for nine Tony Awards, winning for Best Costume Design, Beauty remains one of the highest-grossing Broadway shows of all time. The title\u2019s visibility and success have expanded globally with productions of the stage show and the smash Oscar-nominated 2017 live-action film, which grossed over $1B worldwide.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Kyra Belle Johnson and Fergie L.

Philippe, one of very few Black men playing leads in a Broadway show or touring company, will play the Beast and the Prince in this production. \u201cBeauty\u201d was the first national tour he ever saw as a young person, which inspired him onto his current path.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe things I mostly observe in doing this show as a Black Man are seeing young Black boys see possibility when they see me,\u201d said Philippe. &#8220;They get excited about theater or about the arts. Or even better, they get excited about the lack of limits of what they can be. It\u2019s beyond fulfilling and deeply moving. I love this story and this role. Disney has a very specific place in my heart as an artist, and getting to contribute to this legacy while fully showing up authentically Black is a gift I don\u2019t take for granted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">ACE\u2019s June \u201cFamily Night at the Fisher\u201d for a performance of the legendary musical \u201cThe Wiz\u201d resulted in the highest ticket sales to Detroit residents for a Broadway show at the Fisher in more than two decades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWhat a fantastic night that was,\u201d said City Director of Arts and Culture Rochelle Riley. \u201cI want all children to grow up loving theatre, attending theatre shows and having a ball with their family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Detroit ACE will once again host a table and invite children to contribute their coloring talents to a community mural to be displayed at\u00a0Dream Makers, the city-sponsored children\u2019s art gallery at the Butzel Family Center. There will also be offerings from Arts &amp; Scraps and sweet treats from Good Cakes and Bakes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Fisher partnership is a part of ACE\u2019s efforts to encourage Detroiters to embrace Detroit\u2019s iconic venues and enjoy offerings not only at the Fisher, but also at the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Detroit Opera House and Orchestra Hall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe have some of the best venues in America in the Fisher Theatre, the DIA, the Detroit Opera and Orchestra Hall, as well as our legacy theatres like the\u00a0Detroit Repertory Theatre\u00a0and the\u00a0Detroit Public Theatre,\u201d Riley said. \u201cI hope everyone will spend more family time at all of these treasures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Parents can get half off \u201cKids Night on Broadway\u201d tickets for the Oct. 1 \u201cBeauty and the Beast\u201d performance at broadwayindetroit.com\/kidsnight by using the code KIDS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cBeauty and the Beast\u201d runs Oct. 1-12 at the Fisher Theatre, 3011 W.
