Just imagine how much better the effects would be if this show was on broadway today!

I love Susan Egan so much

i saw this show about 30 years ago on a sunday matinee performance at the chicago theatre. i was amazed by the effects, the music and the pizzazz of this production.

Susan Egan is such a Disney icon

Robby Benson, the voice of the Beast! 🦁 👑 🌹 🥀

The Lumiere head at 8:38, I read that they decided not to use that after reviewing the play because they felt it hid too much of the actor's face. They felt the head where the candle is smaller was good enough because you can see his face and could tell his head was becoming a candle. That was another interesting thing about the musical. Instead of objects starting out completely as objects, they are people gradually turning into objects the longer the spell remains. In one scene Cogsworth and Lumiere are discussing how they're changing and will eventually become.... THINGS unless the master changes his ways. Cogsworth also mentions that he doesn't see why they had to get dragged into the spell when it was the master's fault and Lumiere says that they are responsible for helping making the master the way he is.

I am so blessed to have seen this show with the entire original cast.

Fun fact there was a 7th song added, called a change in me. This song was included before, Toni Braxton was casted as belle. 2 songs had a reprise, if I can't love her & is this home.

I also remember hearing Robby Benson narrate on the cassette audio reading of If You Give a Moose a Muffin which I rented from my local library when I was little!

Someday we will get a recorded version of the official broadway... someday

Why did this stop running?? I want to watch this so badly.

I remembered seeing this Broadway show and I also remember seeing Tom Bosley on the show Happy Days.

Holy shit the Special Effects for The Beast are good enough for Hollywood!

amazing - I did theatre when I was much younger and it takes a village

I really love this musical

I so wish this show was on Broadway still. I hope they bring it back

So great to hear from the late Gary Beach. Wish I could have seen him in this ...

Amazing. Wish I could have seen it.

I just wonder how all of the actors and actresses has all of their own time getting ready to get into their places to get on stage every single night

I love Disney musical like this one great music 🎹🎻🎺🎼🎷🎶

6:39 I don't think that there was a third Ghostbusters movie in this time 😅

I've already said this, but I so wish Susan had fall in love with Terry... come on girl, he was everything! I would do anything to be in her place back then :( I looked up his birthday and he's older than I thought, he could almost be ny grandpa 😭😭😭 it's so unfair.

Fucking Robby Benson is the voice of beast

So it's like beast is narrating the whole thing

Why did Susan Egan love playing Belle?

3:47

11:18 Alexa, play Radio from Half-Life 2.

I don’t understand the point of the beast having teeth. Why would he sing with those? We can’t hear him like that.

5:56 and 5:58 the test audiences should have deemed Babette too much similar to Belle and demanded her to have medium length blonde hair, deemed the white hair on Lumiere “TOO OLD” and recollect his hair to the Sandy hair from the original film (similar to what the audiences did to Michael Angelis when they deemed his voice for Percy too old (they were also hypocritical in by dismissing Angelis’s voice for James too old and have James’s voice too young and cast him with Susan Roman when they should have also deemed her voice “too gay and feminine”) John Belis for Thomas but made a screwup by removing PT Boomer, the original villain, that caused a lot of negative reviews by the critics and was a financial disaster.)
