Beauty and the Beast Transformation 

By Daniel Wurtzel

Daniel Wurtzel, air sculptor for Finding Neverland on Broadway, was commissioned in August of 2016 to create the transformation effect for Beauty and the Beast at the Titusville Playhouse, a 274 seat theatre in Titusville, FL. This effect (as seen in the video above) is done through the use of fans, rose petals and fabric to create the magic of the transformation and is now available for theatrical licensing for your upcoming production! Though designed specifically for Beauty and the Beast this effect has the ability to be transformed and used in a variety of other theatrical productions (i.e. The Wizard of Oz, Into the Woods, etc). 

For more information or to license the effect email steven@titusvilleplayhouse.com
