El Capitan Theatre to Offer Sensory Friendly Showings of Beauty and the Beast
The world is waiting for the live action release of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast next month. I’ve been excited about this film since I’ve seen the teaser poster. I’ll be attending a special blogger event next month for the film, be sure to check back for more on that trip. As a special needs mother I always want to share and highlight companies that accommodate our families. Although I won’t be in town when the El Capitan Theatre is running Beauty and the Beast, I had to share.
Hollywood’s legendary El Capitan Theatre presents a special engagement of Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST March 17 – April 30, 2017, in Dolby Vision™ Laser Projection and Dolby Atmos® Sound Technology. Plus, an additional show on Thursday, March 16 at 9:30pm!
The El Capitan Theatre will also host a very special Tiny Tot Tuesday on these specific dates only: Mar 21, 28, Apr 4, 11, 18 during the run of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. During these special screenings, parents and small children may enjoy the movie in a tot-friendly way—with lights dimmed rather than out and reduced sound levels.

In addition to the special showings for families with little kids, especially those with sensory sensitivity, The El Capitan Theatre will come alive under the magical spell of an immersive light and projection show before the movie featuring a dazzling SWAROVSKI crystal curtain, bringing the tale as old as time to life in a new and spectacular way.
This pre-show will be accompanied by a brand-new BEAUTY AND THE BEAST overture, arranged by Alan Menken’s long-time music director Michael Kosarin, in the style and tradition of the great classic roadshow film overtures. It was recorded by a 100-piece symphonic studio orchestra, and takes the audience through the best loved songs from the 1991 animated film, as well as some of the gorgeous new songs written for this new live-action one. Before and after the movie, guests will have the opportunity to see costumes, props, and set dressing from BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in a display in the lower lounge.
