“Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” features a cast and crew of Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville-Getchell students. The musical is based on the 1991 Academy Award-winning animated feature and tells the story of Belle, a beautiful and intelligent young woman whose attempt to rescue her father leads to her capture by the Beast, a fearsome monster who was trapped in his gruesome form by an enchantress who also transformed everyone else in his castle. The only way for the Beast and his enchanted household to become human again is for the Beast to learn to love and be loved in return.

Others in the cast include Ashlyn Stoker, Rylee Worth, Angela Ferguson, Amanda Littell, Collin Black, Jamie Lawler, Joe Wilson, Julia Miranda, Rachel Bartholomew, Nikole DuFour, Cassie Kunsleman, Ivanna Garza, Lily Siron, Morgan Wright, Kaylee Balam, Veronika Gardulski, Angelina Nguyen, Aislynn Reed, Kris Lawler, Ada Garza, Lina Calderon and Amaya Villabos. Many more students are part of our sound, stage and light crew and even more can be found in the orchestra pit conducted by the soon-to-be retired MP teacher Brian Kesler, accompanied by MP band teacher Gavin Knowles.

Vocal direction is by MG student Victoria Steward and Choreography is by students Mila Olason and Elise Sumsion.
