Step into the enchanted world of Broadway’s classic, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, an international sensation that has been produced in 37 countries worldwide. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all of the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. The original Broadway production ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Meet & Greet with Local Author Harry Pinkus
2023-05-27 11:00 - 14:00 | Blue House Books, 5915 6th Avenue A, Kenosha, WI, 53142, United States
We are so excited to have Milwaukee-based author Harry Pinkus at Blue House Books for a Meet & Greet event on Saturday, May 27th! From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., stop by Blue House Books to chat with Harry about his latest release “Human Collateral” and have it signed!
About the book: “Human Collateral” is an intriguing good versus evil story where a private investigator and the FBI team up to bring down an unscrupulous mob that preys on people’s financial misfortunes.
Private Detective Miles Darien is hired by Cora Sims to find her missing daughter Olivia, who has been living alone in Chicago.
Miles enlists his best friend, investigative journalist Ryan Duffy, to assist in the search. Mrs. Sims has no idea where her daughter works or how she makes a living. First, they must uncover the clues which will lead them to her workplace, hoping to connect with someone who can take them to Olivia.
When they find Olivia, she’s barely alive as a result of an infection after having a kidney surgically removed. Turns out the kidney was payment for an illegal loan given by criminals who prey on people in dire financial trouble by forcing them to use their bodies as collateral.
About the author: Harry’s passion for writing was ignited at the University of Wisconsin where he studied journalism and wrote for the campus newspaper, “The Daily Cardinal.” After many years as a partner in a marketing firm, Harry formed a consultancy to focus on writing for business publications, creating marketing content and materials for both digital and print media.
After so many years writing content for his clients, Harry finally decided to write something for himself. His first novel, “The Kingmaker’s Redemption”, allowed Harry to creatively express my point of view through storytelling. His next book, “Human Collateral”, is the first in the Miles Darien Detective series. The next installment of the thriller series, “Justified Malice”, will be out in the fall of 2023.
Harry and his wife Jackie live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

About the Books
“When Lincoln Met Wisconsin’s Nightingale”: Join author Daniel L. Stika as he examines the work of Wisconsin’s Nightingale, Cordelia Harvey. As a tireless campaigner for improved medical care for Civil War soldiers, Harvey inspects battlefield hospitals and takes her reports of squalor and death all the way to the White House. Throughout the course of several meetings with President Abraham Lincoln, Harvey advocates for the construction of hospitals with the sole purpose of caring for the men who are fighting and dying for their country.
“The Rhode Center for the Arts: Looking Back & Looking Ahead”: This book gives the reader a sequential overview of what “Entertainment Palaces” existed on the (Market Street – 56th street) property from 1890 to the present. The design and architecture of a theater can bring an audience to another period of time, when men wore tuxedos and women wore gowns to the theater.
About the Author
“As a civic-minded citizen, I think that we should all try to give something back to our communities. One of my main interests is in people. I enjoy being involved and helping whenever and wherever I can. My motto is that you will never outgrow your need for people and knowledge. Life itself is a lifelong learning process. When we stop learning, we stop living. I retired from active employment, not from active enjoyment.” –Daniel Stika, local author
