Cooks and Books with Beauty & the Beast!

In this above video, Brandywine Ballet and PA Eats host a cooking show at Baldwin’s Book Barn in West Chester, Pennsylvania, featuring members of Brandywine Ballet, special guest dancer Francis Veyette of Pennsylvania Ballet, and Chef John Brandt-Lee of Avalon Restaurant.

The purpose of the video is to give “sneak peek” the company’s upcoming April 27-29 premiere performances of Beauty & the Beast, featuring choreography by Nancy Page.

If you watch the video, you’ll see our own foodie Mary Bigham take you on a spectacular tour of Baldwin’s Book Barn, discovering Beauty & the Beast cast members along the way, before uniting Belle and the Beast for a romantic dinner for two prepared by Chef extraordinaire John Brandt-Lee! Also, while watching the above video, you’ll find out why books and a candlelit feast truly are the Beast’s way to Belle’s heart, and why you won’t want to miss Brandywine Ballet’s upcoming performances of Beauty & the Beast!

Beauty & the Beast comes to the Brandywine Ballet from April 27 – 29, 2012. Tickets are available for purchase from $25 – $40. The performances take place at Emilie K. Asplundh Concert Hall, found at 700 South High Street in West Chester.
