Autism Friendly Events over the Holiday Season

A timeless classic reimagined

Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions (Aladdin, The Lion King, Mary Poppins, Frozen) this new production of Beauty and the Beast brings back members of the original creative team from the ground-breaking Broadway musical to reimagine this much-loved classic tale.

Based on the 1991 animated film, the original production of Beauty and the Beast played for more than 13 years on Broadway, remaining to this day one of the top 10 longest running shows in Broadway history, and touring to 37 countries worldwide. Sydney audiences will rejoice in the spellbinding songs of Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice including Belle, Gaston, Human Again and Be Our Guest.

Creating a comfortable and inclusive theatre experience: what to expect at the relaxed performance

For Autistic individuals, accessing the community and attending special events can be challenging. However, armed with a greater awareness of neurodiversity, organisations around Australia, such as Sydney Aquarium, The Maritime Museum and The Queensland Ballet, are holding events to create a far more inclusive environment. Some organisations also provide visual stories.
