USC ? Since Disney's ^i;
"Beauty and the Beast" has been s^'
out for two years, it's done some Pa
cooling off. On ice, that is. ^e'
The latest production of
Walt's World on Ice proves once t0
and for all that this version still ^
has what it takes to keep the
show fresh and intriguing, even
if the audience knows all the ^
dialogue and songs by heart. j0
