A tale as old as time is coming to life—and we invite you to be part of 2025’s most enchanting event – The Majestic Empire Foundation’s Once Upon a Party: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast The Broadway Musical.
Join us on Saturday, November 22, 2025, for a magical afternoon filled with joy, wonder, and unforgettable experiences—all in support of The Majestic Empire Foundation’s mission to make high-quality arts education accessible to all students.
A Day of Magic and Memories
The celebration begins with a whimsical pre-show lunch at the newly renovated Gunter Hotel—transformed into an enchanted castle for the day. Guests will step into a fairytale world featuring character meet-and-greets, interactive games, mini-makeovers, a musical workshop and dance party, and a special boys’ adventure at Gaston’s Tavern.
Following lunch, guests will head to the historic Majestic Theatre for a spectacular Broadway performance of Beauty and the Beast—with the best seats in the house reserved for our sponsors and their guests.
