  • About the Show

    Alpha's Beauty and the Beast combines all that is loved about any version of the classic fairytale you could imagine. Alpha's version is grounded in love through letting go of old beliefs, old rules and all that prevents us from loving others fully without fear.

    It's also incredibly funny and silly, as well as very touching and dramatic. This is the perfect selection for your first Alpha show, as it fully prepares an audience for our other shows through the same process of letting go and feeling love and fun easily and without restriction.

  • Values Content

    Values Theme: BELIEFS & SELF-IMAGE
    Outcome: To bring children back in line with their natural intuitive nature and to help all involved to create their life how they want it and to be a role model to everyone else

    Information: The character of the Beast is a great lesson in how disempowering negative beliefs about people and ourselves can have undesired effects in our lives. Just like the Beast, instant transformation is also possible in all of us. We all have limiting beliefs that hold us back from our full potential, and it is possible to instantly destroy those beliefs and transform our lives for the better in a moment.
