Location & How to Get There

Beauty And The Beast brings its enchanting story to life at the Walt Disney Grand Theatre in Shanghai Disney Resort, located in Chuansha Town, Pudong New Area. To get there, take Metro Line 11 to Shanghai Disney Resort Station—it’s just a short walk from the station to the theatre. If you’re coming from downtown Shanghai, a taxi or ride-hailing app like Didi is also convenient. The resort even offers free shuttle buses from key city spots, making it stress-free!

The Magic of Beauty And The Beast

This isn’t just any theatre production—it’s the Chinese-language version of the beloved Disney musical, crafted with over a year of meticulous preparation. Inside the Walt Disney Grand Theatre, you’ll find a stellar cast, stunning sets that transport you to Belle’s village and the Beast’s castle, and costumes so elaborate they’ll leave you staring. The showstopper? Iconic songs from the 1991 animated film, reimagined with orchestral magic. Even if you’ve seen other versions, this Shanghai-exclusive staging feels fresh and immersive.

A Cultural Journey Through Time

The musical’s roots date back to 1994 on Broadway, where it became a Tony Award-nominated sensation, running for 13 years. Since then, it’s been performed in 37 countries, translated into 17 languages, and seen by over 35 million people worldwide. The Shanghai version? It’s part of that global legacy, but with local flair—think Chinese accents woven into the storytelling without losing the original charm.

Beyond the Show: Full Resort Experience

Visiting Beauty And The Beast isn’t just about the theatre. The Shanghai Disney Resort itself is a day-trip destination. Before or after the show, explore the park’s themed lands, grab a meal at a character-filled restaurant, or shop for Belle-inspired dresses and Beast-themed souvenirs. The resort even has hotels where you can extend the magic with Disney-detailed rooms and castle views.

Why You’ll Love It

This isn’t your average “sit and watch” show. Beauty And The Beast here is interactive—think snowfall during “Be Our Guest” and surprise appearances by Disney characters post-show. Families love it for the kids’ delight, couples for the romance, and theatre buffs for the artistry. Plus, with English subtitles available, it’s accessible for all visitors.

Pro tip: Book tickets online in advance (they go fast!), and arrive early to snag a good seat. Afterward, stroll through the park’s illuminated streets—the perfect ending to a fairy-tale night.

From its prime location to its blend of global and local creativity, Beauty And The Beast is more than a show—it’s a reason to visit Shanghai itself. Catch it while you can!
