Broadway in Detroit is officially kicking off their 2025-2026 season with a show that perfectly captures the feeling of nostalgia. Beauty and the Beast is one of those Disney films that have stood the test of time, defining many people's childhoods, including my own. The excitement of catching this story on stage is similar to Christmas morning in adolescence, allowing audiences to experience the world of Beauty and the Beast like never before! We spoke with Harry Francis, who plays LeFou in this production, about his time on tour and what audiences can expect when they attend the show!
In this exclusive Box Seat Babes interview, Harry Francis discusses how the touring production of Beauty and the Beast has captured the Disney magic on stage! From working with the original creative team to ensure that this latest production remains true to the Disney classic, Francis discusses how the role of LeFou has evolved since its humble introduction in the animated film. Don't worry, all your favorite parts are still present, but the actor explores how the show has evolved and changed, bringing the tale as old as time into a new generation!
