Experience the Magic of “Beauty and the Beast” and Senior Pet Adoption in Philadelphia
From February 11 to February 22, Philadelphia’s Academy of Music will host an enchanting run of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” To commemorate this beloved production, the Pennsylvania SPCA is joining forces with Ensemble Arts Philly to promote the adoption of senior pets in a heartwarming campaign titled “TAIL As Old As Time.”
The ‘TAIL As Old As Time’ Campaign
In an effort to encourage the adoption of older animals, the Pennsylvania SPCA will spotlight eight senior pets, each paired with a cast role that reflects their unique personalities. This initiative not only highlights these deserving animals but also offers an exciting incentive for potential adopters: all fees for the featured senior pets will be covered during this period, and each adopter will receive a pair of tickets to the show!
The Magic of the Show
“Beauty and the Beast,” based on the 1991 Academy Award-winning animated film, first graced the Broadway stage in 1994 and continues to hold its ground as one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history. “This iconic production, which has garnered critical acclaim since its inception, has delighted audiences across the globe, including recent performances in the U.K. and Australia,” said Frances Egler, Vice President of Theatrical Programming and Presentations at Ensemble Arts. She added, “We are thrilled to bring this revered classic back to Philadelphia as part of our acclaimed Broadway series.”
Since its debut, “Beauty and the Beast” has been nominated for nine Tony Awards, winning for Best Costume Design. Its popularity continues to shine, making it one of the highest-grossing Broadway shows of all time.
