I want to take a moment to appreciate the pit orchestra (especially since I don't see any praise for them in the comments) I mean the pieces are really crazy. For violin it's either tremolo or really fast and high positioned. Amazing performance.
I play violin in musical pits and it feels great that someone recognizes what we go through!!! I'm also in musicals but being in the pit is just as fun :)
It annoys me when the orchestra don't get any praise or credit. We are doing Les Miserables at the moment and we all definitely appreciate our orchestra 😊
My band Director directed the pit of a community theater so we went to go see it. I was blown away by the pit orchestra, particularly the horn player because it's such a high part and her tone was amazing. I went to tell her that I loved her playing and she's been giving me lessons for almost two years now. She is just the nicest person.
The Belle in this recording is the best I've seen! Not only does she have a beautiful voice, but her expressions, body language, and overall character development are fantastic. Bravo.
@@emilyabbott2979 Of course! I'm auditioning for Beauty and the Beast and will definitely be taking a lot of inspiration from you to try and land Belle 😊💞
I’m desperately trying to figure out how to do his accent, but I’m a woman and I feel as if he loses some charm without the rasp. I have to play him in the musical at my school so
The part where Beast shows Belle the library was simple, but effective at making the room changed to a huge room of bookselves in just seconds. The huge applause is the result of such a simple yet effective scene change.
All of these actors and actresses are simply delightful, but it kind of amuses me that in this version Gaston is like some surfing douchy beach bully x3
My community's youth theatre did a production of Beauty and the Beast and our Gaston was a babyface 🤣 he had the voice for it, and he looked and sounded like gaston, but when you looked at his face, you could tell he was 13
"You're hungry.. If i *say* you're hungry". "Thats ridiculous!" "what did you say?" "you cant go around *ordering* people to be hungry, it doesnt work that way" lmao im dead
Omg! I am wishing and hoping another beauty and the beast play comes around my town, so I can audition for Cogsworth! I have that english accent down pretty well, and it would be such a pleasure, cuz he's my favorite character!
WHO is the actor doing Lumiere??? He is fantastic and you can tell he is giving it everything and having fun with it. He is by far my favorite actor here omg. Belle is magnificent too!!!!
Layla Jopling Well, If you go to the credits at the end of the video, it says Lumiere was played by Bob Neeleman, so, just pointing that out. He also looks about 21 so, that must of been an early marriage then... :p
I know it's not one of the most popular scenes, but shout out to the cast and crew during the wolf attack. The costume design and movements make it obvious that yes, these are wolves, not lost people wandering in circles in giant pajamas. (I've seen this play done by a local community theater, and I was disappointed.) Then Belle obliviously walks straight into danger, and trying to get out of trouble just increases the strength of the ambush, and after proving her efforts futile, the wolves are ready to carry her offstage, just as real wild animals will drag off a carcass. When the Beast arrives, the wolves actually look like they're fighting him rather than simply walking in a circle, and we even see one wolf specifically go for the arm, the injury that Belle and the Beast will argue over. When the wolves retreat, they're clearly injured, and the Beast tries his macho act of being tough and cooly walking off after a fight without needing help...only to fail miserably. Very convincing attack and rescue. Bravo! Encore!
Belle does a good job here too. Her screams are of genuine terror, and she's actually trying to fight the wolves the only way she can. Her efforts are genuine, but futile, but that's not the flaw of the actress; it's a character thing. Belle is a bookworm who's probably never been in real danger before, so she'd be quite unsure of herself in this situation, and trying her best is quite frankly not going to be nearly good enough when dealing with a pack of wolves. I've had the displeasure of watching a local performance where Belle just sort of batted the air with her stick or held it close to her and didn't really move, but this Belle is genuinely trying to survive...failing, of course, but it's survival instinct at its finest. Like I said, we can all tell she's afraid of the wolves. She fears they will administer gruesome, excruciating execution, and she's probably right. Some people I've seen in this role look like they're just hanging out with the wolves: no screaming, no fighting, no looks of terror...but this Belle is in horrific terror, believes she must do everything possible to fight (literally) for her life, and seems like she will have some sort of nervous breakdown or the onset of PTSD. Then there's the unspoken conversation between her and Beast that's hilarious as heck because it's so dang realistic. "Oh, you poor creature! You got hurt defending me, just like a brave knight in the books I've read! That's so noble! And I just can't stand to see an animal in pain! Here. Let me make you all better." "Take a hike, woman! It's bad enough you got me into this mess! I'm fine! Real men don't whine over every paper cut!" Then he falls and probably mutters an interjection of choice under his breath. I can just imagine this tone of interaction for "Why don't we pull over and ask for directions?" "I don't need directions!" "Fine. Then I'll ask!" :P
When my community college put on this production, the wolves were puppets on rods. There were only a few actors puppeteering them but they did an excellent job, that scene was genuinely scary!
@@proverbialloaf I've seen some productions do it with puppets, and if done right, it can be a very intense scene. Puppets have more freedom to bite and get thrown around a little, so they can make direct contact with the actor playing the Beast, whereas a human playing a wolf would have to be more careful that they didn't bruise each other. You can also show the size difference a little better with human actor and puppet rather than two human actors. Bottom line: I totally believe you if you say your college made this scene genuinely terrifying with puppets, and I'm really happy that it worked out so well for everyone.

Was recently cast as beast in a production, absolute dream role! The director recommended this performance and I cannot say how many times I have watched this analysing how the beast in this conducts himself and interacts with other characters. The Belle is spectacular and perfectly captures her energy and the Cloggsworth and Lumiere dynamic is spot on. Everyone down to the main roles to the ensemble is just fab!
Not many people commented about this, but did anyone notice how AMAZING these costumes are??? They are sooo cool and they look like what the character would wear! (My favorite is the yellow dress Belle wears)
OK, I know Gaston's supposed to be the focus in "Me" (duh) but Belle's performance during that song was the best thing ever! I was laughing the whole time from the facial expressions and sarcasm.
i love how the actress who played belle is super sweet like belle. i mean the actress is replying and loving almost every comment. she fits the role of belle perfectly, she’s a very talented actress! wonderful cast!! 🫶
I have wanted to see this musical on stage for over 10 years, and it brings a tear to my eye that you posted it here. I am grateful because up to now I have only heard the audio soundtrack for it.
I would just like to say the whole cast is amazing but Lefou was by far one of the best. The character development, body language, voice, just everything!
Belle in this musical is so talented! I swear I have never seen a better belle, her facial expressions, body language, and her voice all I can say is bravo!
I would like to take a moment and say that this was a phenomenal performance. You didn't play Belle, you WERE her and that's the most important thing. From the very first notes of the opening song I was captivated! Thank you, the entire ensemble and everyone involved for an amazing 2 hours! And from a fellow actor - mostly spoken word plays tho - best of luck on all future performances and break a leg :)
yes and I like the idea behind the song where Belle realized that she herself gets to create the home or perfect place for herself with her own inner strength and beauty and she doesn't have to go outside to somewhere else to find it because she creates it wherever she goes. but of course it is still fine for her to have adventures in a great wide somewhere
This play is adorable and fantastic. I love the charm it has and the humor. It gives me chills on the feels parts and I get giddy with the music and show they give. I wish I was there. I know I would cry of joy to watch like I am now. 😭
Since watching the Disney remake, I've developed a deeper appreciation of the musical. I especially love the Broadway version (I'd give anything to see it live) and this cast knocked it out of the park! Wonderful job!
Woooow Emily, you are a million times better than Emma Watson as Belle. Absolutely the embodiment of Belle. The spirit, the liveliness, the hopeless romantic dreaminess of the look in her eyes, like she believes in a much better life... in a world full of beautiful dreams, marrying for love and finding a man who will love her completely. BRAVO!!!!
This is one of the best musicals I ever saw in my life! 1: great actors and actresses 2: the music is perfect 3: the stunts are awesome 4: there are hilarious scene's 5: the singing is so good 6: the camera work is fantastic 7: the decor/uniforms are beautiful 8: the story is very well acted 9: the audience is also enthusiastic 10: this is the greatest musical ever! Respect! 👏👏👏
Best Overall production I have ever seen for a non Broadway production... Music was amazing, lighting and effects were great, set was well done and space usage was great... Singing for all the leads was amazing!!!!
I've had the honor of being Cogsworth in my local theatre, and I must say, our performances are soooo different. This is my first experience in a main role in a musical this big, so I wanted it to be original, and I really like the way he interpreted this character.
There are 2 things my favorite in this: 1. The way Lumiere talks sounds like he's really France 2. The line of the Beast when dinner is ready. "Fine, then starve. If she doesn't eat with me, she doesn't eat at all." Just the growl, angry way he saying that line gives me everytime goosbumps. (This is the 4th time a watch this I guess)
Is it wrong that I'm 33 and this story is still an ultimate favorite and it makes me cry? It always did when I was a little girl too so maybe it's just nostalgia, but this story just means so much to me. This was wonderful, great job!
Hey, I'm 22 and I bawl my eyes out even watching the movie, so give me real people on a stage? I'm GONE girl lol! It's just such a timeless story about love and redemption and learning to be a better person for someone else. I don't think it's wrong to cry at all! And if it is, I don't want to be right.
I played Lumiere and used this for study for the role, he is totally my fav. Love Lumiere in this production 💛💛, and to everyone who is female and wants to play Lumiere or any male role that’s possible for a female to try - go for it! I did and I was a perfect fit! So never give up just because of minor inconvenience!!💕
Just an Awkward Nobody I just found out my school is doing beauty and the beast and I am female I really wanna audition for lefou bc I just like his energy and I wanna try somthing new
Oh man. I remember when we did beauty and the beast jr in the 8th grade. It was my first ever musical and I got a role as lefou. It was the play that opened my eyes to theater and really gave me a community. I remember how good it felt to stand up in front of tons of people and sing “Gaston”, whew.
As someone disappointed with the remake and the choice for Emma Watson as Belle, I thoroughly enjoyed this musical. All the actors/actresses perfectly captured the essence of the story in a way the remake could not. Emma Watson could not embody Belle's gentleness and grace nor her liveliness. And we could actually understand here why Belle and the Beast fell in love. And the Beast's song really helped us understand why he is the way he is. A real shame about the remake but this is a true gem. You did a beautiful job as Belle. You really captured her spirit. Everyone did an incredible job. The sets, special effects, and the wolves were done very incredibly well. Kudos to you all who helped bring this to life. ✨🌹✨
I’ve seen this show so many times and I always cry when chip and Mrs Potts see eachother as humans no matter what cast it is and no matter where it’s being preformed. It’s so adorable 😭😭
This production of my favorite musical is entertaining to watch, I love watching the guy that plays Lumiere. The original Broadway musical debuted 4 days before my birthday in 1994, I'm inspired by any high school or college production of the same musical. Well done!
Wow this was really well done!!! Emily, your voice is OUTSTANDING!!! Rob was hysterical as Lumiere and so was the girl who played the feather duster! Great job to the orchestra and the crew! I've always thought it would be a lot of fun to play Gaston in this show.
Oh. My. Sweet. Lord. I've looked for ALL musical so much time and finally found it. Actors and actress are just amazing (I'm little in love with voice of man who reads prolouge...). Thank you for make possible to watch it on YT❤
This is just brilliant. I adore the beast, he was so charming and cute ,, yet scary and larger than life in the beginning. Cogsworth, lumiere and babette were perfect! Also I cried when mrs Potts saw chip when they were human and he jumped into her arms. So freaking cute. I’m playing belle in an upcoming production so I watched this for inspo but was mesmerised. Costumes amazing too!
And of course, Emily you were wonderful. But that’s a given - we have such different voices so it stresses me to think how I’m gonna do the high stuff as well as you do 😂
Romanticwaffle Thank you for your comments!! I was so impressed by our cast. Have the most incredible time playing Belle and enjoy every moment. Every voice is different just like every interpretation of a character will be different! You were cast for a reason. Break a leg! ❤️
Lumiere and Babette have me ROLLING! The scene where they’re talking about jealousy and Babette says “Veronique” and then Lumiere repeats it but with hip movements. It’s on a different level of funny to me because my French name is Veronique so I was SHOOK.
Emily you nailed Belle her personality’s really hard to embody perfectly you were amazing and so were the rest of the cast! You’re singing was beautiful:)
What a wonderful performance! I was just randomly searching for this musical on stage, but who would've thought i'd stumble on such a gem! Your Belle was so beautiful, thank you for uploding this
I was never really into disney, but beauty and the beast was always my favorite. This performance is hands down the best thing i have ever seen. Thank you for helping to bring disney to life and bring my childhood nostalgia back. :)
I am a Latin woman , I just found this video and I can't believe how romantic and sweet this story is. The music, the lyrics, the orchestra playing as the actors move ....I love the final song where Belle sings that her home now is with the Besst ♥️♥️♥️ great performance!
This was truely an excellent play. I really enjoyed it! All of the characters seemed so real, the lighting and sound was OUTSTANDING, and everyone did a great job! Good work!
Belle is my favorite princess and this actress more than does her justice. Lovely singing voice and gives Belle strength, warmth, and kindness. I really love that the play humanizes the Beast more. That moment where he brings her food only to discover that she’s not even there to see it, along with the moment where he voices his fear that Belle will laugh when he tells her he is in love with her, are very powerful character moments for him.
Ah! Finally! I love Susan Egan but I didn't really like how she sang as Belle for Beauty and the Beast on the original Broadway. But the lady who plays Belle here was amazing
Thank you for posting the play this is the best I have seen prerecorded out side of clips in Beauty and the Beast Goes to Broadway a Disney channel making of the play. Thank You
Currently watching this for inspiration since my auditions for beauty and the beast are coming up. Belle has been my dream role ever since I was little so wish me luck! This whole performance is beautiful btw, everyone took their characters so seriously and it shows. I'll try to update what role I get, thank you so much for uploading this :) Update : I got Belle! I truly would’ve never thought I could get her but here I am. It still feels unreal, but I’m living proof that hard work and dedication truly pays off. At first I wasn’t even gonna go for her but instead I gave it a try. So to anyone reading, please take that chance! The worst that could happen is you don’t get that role but then you just move on instead of worrying ‘what if’. I want to thank this video & others for helping me achieve this! Sorry this is so late, I’ve been busy working on the production. 💛💌 I’m still in the rehearsal process and it’s so much fun. I’ll do another update when it’s closing night although I do not want to say goodbye to this role :’) Last and final update : We closed. I bawled my eyes out so many times, including bows. This show holds such a special place in my heart. I was obsessed with this movie & Belle when I was little, and getting to perform it live has been so surreal. Forever grateful for this experience.. It feels like I just left the comment yesterday but it’s all over now. Belle taught me so much as a performer and I’ll never forget this. Time for more post show depression now…
@@coolestbitchaliveever Hii, I ended up getting Belle! I’m sorry this is so late, I’ve been busy with rehearsals and summer. I updated my comment with more information

lumiere: with bboks ;)
25:39 the butchering of “rendezvous” KILLED me
i read the comments before watching and someone said: “gaston looks more like elvis presley than gaston” AND NOW I CANT UNSEE IT LMAO
I am laughing at the guy playing Lumiere. He is perfect!!
Dstborxgb❤❤
God damn this Lefou snatched my weave and threw it all the way to mars
SHE IS THE PERFECT BELLE
caitlin marie Thank you!!! :) It was an incredible experience.
RIGHT

Was recently cast as beast in a production, absolute dream role! The director recommended this performance and I cannot say how many times I have watched this analysing how the beast in this conducts himself and interacts with other characters. The Belle is spectacular and perfectly captures her energy and the Cloggsworth and Lumiere dynamic is spot on. Everyone down to the main roles to the ensemble is just fab!

@@stephenstandring7632 good job, buddy!
This is definitely the absolute best production of beauty and the beast I’ve seen yet.
Not many people commented about this, but did anyone notice how AMAZING these costumes are??? They are sooo cool and they look like what the character would wear! (My favorite is the yellow dress Belle wears)
LeFou actually sounds exactly like the guy in the live action, he is really amazing!
OK, I know Gaston's supposed to be the focus in "Me" (duh) but Belle's performance during that song was the best thing ever! I was laughing the whole time from the facial expressions and sarcasm.
The way he was lifting her like a weight was hysterical!
I love how classical Belle sounds! It's such a classy sound :). She looks amazing too!
ethalinia Thank you, I really appreciate that! :)
Ooooooooookkkk.
OMG I can't believe I found you here hahah she's fantastic for sure!
The narrator sounds like a Comic book narrator, in a good way.
Come on, get real...he SOUNDS like James Earl Jones to me ! Let me hear him say "Luke, I am your father".
i love how the actress who played belle is super sweet like belle. i mean the actress is replying and loving almost every comment. she fits the role of belle perfectly, she’s a very talented actress! wonderful cast!! 🫶
That was amazing. Actually felt like I was watching a proper movie. The girl who played Belle is amazing and has inspired me. Well done
I have wanted to see this musical on stage for over 10 years, and it brings a tear to my eye that you posted it here. I am grateful because up to now I have only heard the audio soundtrack for it.
This show (and these actors) will always remain close to my heart.
I would just like to say the whole cast is amazing but Lefou was by far one of the best. The character development, body language, voice, just everything!
Belle in this musical is so talented! I swear I have never seen a better belle, her facial expressions, body language, and her voice all I can say is bravo!
I would like to take a moment and say that this was a phenomenal performance. You didn't play Belle, you WERE her and that's the most important thing. From the very first notes of the opening song I was captivated! Thank you, the entire ensemble and everyone involved for an amazing 2 hours! And from a fellow actor - mostly spoken word plays tho - best of luck on all future performances and break a leg :)
Wow, thank you SO much for your thoughtful and meaningful comment! I’m so glad you enjoyed the show!
@@emilyabbott2979 Would you have a copy of the full performance with Susan Egan and Terrance Mann?
@@stuartcampbell912 I wish! Sorry, but I do not.
During "No Matter What"....oooooh, the feels! Such great father-daughter chemistry, excellent performance! And Belle's voice...wow!
“The spell is broken we are human again!” Everyone who deserves it should get a happy ending . Bravi well done rendition cast !
Daniel Raphael Thank you!!
I liked the song Human Again
Did anyone else see belle bring Maurice to tears while singing a change in me😭❤
okay.!
yes and I like the idea behind the song where Belle realized that she herself gets to create the home or perfect place for herself with her own inner strength and beauty and she doesn't have to go outside to somewhere else to find it because she creates it wherever she goes. but of course it is still fine for her to have adventures in a great wide somewhere
This play is adorable and fantastic. I love the charm it has and the humor. It gives me chills on the feels parts and I get giddy with the music and show they give. I wish I was there. I know I would cry of joy to watch like I am now. 😭
LoLouv Torres Thank you sooo much!
From yeeeeeeeeeeeees.
Since watching the Disney remake, I've developed a deeper appreciation of the musical. I especially love the Broadway version (I'd give anything to see it live) and this cast knocked it out of the park! Wonderful job!
1:13:28 Cogsworth screaming is the highlight of my day.
The actor playing lumiere was AMAZING am i the only one who loved his acting? And he was hella funny
he really is! and continues to entertain. :D
Much better than the 2017 live action movie
Why tho?
Woooow Emily, you are a million times better than Emma Watson as Belle. Absolutely the embodiment of Belle. The spirit, the liveliness, the hopeless romantic dreaminess of the look in her eyes, like she believes in a much better life... in a world full of beautiful dreams, marrying for love and finding a man who will love her completely. BRAVO!!!!
She did beautiful💙
This is one of the best musicals I ever saw in my life!
1: great actors and actresses
2: the music is perfect
3: the stunts are awesome
4: there are hilarious scene's
5: the singing is so good
6: the camera work is fantastic
7: the decor/uniforms are beautiful
8: the story is very well acted
9: the audience is also enthusiastic
10: this is the greatest musical ever!
Respect! 👏👏👏

its better than the live action movie
Best Overall production I have ever seen for a non Broadway production... Music was amazing, lighting and effects were great, set was well done and space usage was great... Singing for all the leads was amazing!!!!
Stephen standring
Has anyone else noticed babette being the leader in the tango. It just sticks out to me as great characterisation
this is what disney's live action dress should have looked like. it's gorgeous
The actor who plays Lefou does amazing
I've had the honor of being Cogsworth in my local theatre, and I must say, our performances are soooo different. This is my first experience in a main role in a musical this big, so I wanted it to be original, and I really like the way he interpreted this character.
I just love lumiere I really wanna play him in a show despite me being a girl I don't care theatre do gender swaps all the time
Zaza 🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🌽🌽🌽
My highschool has a girl doing Lumiere. Shes amazing.
Ray Roberts I played lumiere in a school show and I’m female and it’s so much fun
My friend (a girl) is playing lumiere in our schools production of beauty and the beast
I just got cast as Lumiere in a school production and I'm a girl! I'm so excited!
The lighting just makes them look magical!
2:16:08 When the entire ensemble sings the coda to Beauty and the Beast they SOUNDED GORGEOUS. Like, Broadway caliber. I teared up.
There are 2 things my favorite in this:
1. The way Lumiere talks sounds like he's really France
2. The line of the Beast when dinner is ready. "Fine, then starve. If she doesn't eat with me, she doesn't eat at all." Just the growl, angry way he saying that line gives me everytime goosbumps. (This is the 4th time a watch this I guess)
Who else saw Lefou and Gaston accidentally kissed right before he pushed him to the floor
What’s the time?
Åwkwārd ._.Åūdręÿ 9:45
That was on purpose
It was part of the act as he went to kiss belle and lofu was in the way
@@GachaAlex2006 why is it 'yuck' weird yes but not yuck
Is it wrong that I'm 33 and this story is still an ultimate favorite and it makes me cry? It always did when I was a little girl too so maybe it's just nostalgia, but this story just means so much to me. This was wonderful, great job!
Hey, I'm 22 and I bawl my eyes out even watching the movie, so give me real people on a stage? I'm GONE girl lol! It's just such a timeless story about love and redemption and learning to be a better person for someone else. I don't think it's wrong to cry at all! And if it is, I don't want to be right.
@@isabellp.5730 Well said, lady! 😁
The pit orchestra is incredible! Everyone is so incredibly talented!
I played Lumiere and used this for study for the role, he is totally my fav. Love Lumiere in this production 💛💛, and to everyone who is female and wants to play Lumiere or any male role that’s possible for a female to try - go for it! I did and I was a perfect fit! So never give up just because of minor inconvenience!!💕
Just an Awkward Nobody I just found out my school is doing beauty and the beast and I am female I really wanna audition for lefou bc I just like his energy and I wanna try somthing new
@@lovelybones3737 Did you get him
I'm playing lumiere in May, I also think this is the best one I've seen
@@carterrettig7662 he gave it his ALL every night. lots of energy!
the best Beauty and the Beast musical i've ever seen
Oh man. I remember when we did beauty and the beast jr in the 8th grade. It was my first ever musical and I got a role as lefou. It was the play that opened my eyes to theater and really gave me a community. I remember how good it felt to stand up in front of tons of people and sing “Gaston”, whew.
As someone disappointed with the remake and the choice for Emma Watson as Belle, I thoroughly enjoyed this musical. All the actors/actresses perfectly captured the essence of the story in a way the remake could not. Emma Watson could not embody Belle's gentleness and grace nor her liveliness. And we could actually understand here why Belle and the Beast fell in love. And the Beast's song really helped us understand why he is the way he is. A real shame about the remake but this is a true gem. You did a beautiful job as Belle. You really captured her spirit. Everyone did an incredible job. The sets, special effects, and the wolves were done very incredibly well. Kudos to you all who helped bring this to life. ✨🌹✨
I’ve seen this show so many times and I always cry when chip and Mrs Potts see eachother as humans no matter what cast it is and no matter where it’s being preformed. It’s so adorable 😭😭
Anya G SAME!!
Any advice on how to help make that happen. Im playing Chip and I have no idea how to do it.

The entire orchestra and ensemble was simply perfection! Enjoyed this immensely! Thank you.

This production of my favorite musical is entertaining to watch, I love watching the guy that plays Lumiere. The original Broadway musical debuted 4 days before my birthday in 1994, I'm inspired by any high school or college production of the same musical. Well done!
Happy belated birthday
Wow this was really well done!!! Emily, your voice is OUTSTANDING!!! Rob was hysterical as Lumiere and so was the girl who played the feather duster! Great job to the orchestra and the crew! I've always thought it would be a lot of fun to play Gaston in this show.
Oh. My. Sweet. Lord.
I've looked for ALL musical so much time and finally found it. Actors and actress are just amazing (I'm little in love with voice of man who reads prolouge...). Thank you for make possible to watch it on YT❤
And - God I miss tell about it! - you are perfect Belle❤
I get to play Mrs Potts in our production in February! So excited!
Congrats!! You'll do great! In April, I get to play the Beast
Frieza 9402 I really want to do this show next year and I also really want to play mrs Potts too. Hope all went well
That opening narrator has a marvelous voice, love it to bits
He was the same actor that played the clock:)

I keep trying to find one with a good belle to study, and this is what I needed! THANK YOU she did a great job.
Linnea Whitton Oh thank you! That means so much. ☺️
From.
This is just brilliant. I adore the beast, he was so charming and cute ,, yet scary and larger than life in the beginning. Cogsworth, lumiere and babette were perfect! Also I cried when mrs Potts saw chip when they were human and he jumped into her arms. So freaking cute. I’m playing belle in an upcoming production so I watched this for inspo but was mesmerised. Costumes amazing too!
And of course, Emily you were wonderful. But that’s a given - we have such different voices so it stresses me to think how I’m gonna do the high stuff as well as you do 😂
Romanticwaffle Thank you for your comments!! I was so impressed by our cast. Have the most incredible time playing Belle and enjoy every moment. Every voice is different just like every interpretation of a character will be different! You were cast for a reason. Break a leg! ❤️
Lumiere: Say something about the dress!
Beast: Uhm.... It's pink!
Cogsworth: 😒
😆😆I'm weak! I really can't!

Belle is stunning
Monica D Thank you so much! :)
Lumiere and Babette have me ROLLING! The scene where they’re talking about jealousy and Babette says “Veronique” and then Lumiere repeats it but with hip movements.
It’s on a different level of funny to me because my French name is Veronique so I was SHOOK.
Znddvleshv
I love this performance so much! I recently got casted as Belle in my schools musical and I absolutely love the way she is played here!! It's amazing!
How’d it go!?!
Ugh, why do I cry any time I see any version of Beauty and the Beast? I LOVE this movie so much!! Bravo, Brava!!!
Thank you so much for posting this I'm doing beauty and beast for my school musical so it's good to have a lil insight
You guys were amazing. I'm in love with the Beast, but that's okay.
Woah same I’ve been in the show twice and I’m auditioning for it again
Me too
Sjekwjsud
Emily you nailed Belle her personality’s really hard to embody perfectly you were amazing and so were the rest of the cast! You’re singing was beautiful:)
What a wonderful performance! I was just randomly searching for this musical on stage, but who would've thought i'd stumble on such a gem!
Your Belle was so beautiful, thank you for uploding this
I was never really into disney, but beauty and the beast was always my favorite. This performance is hands down the best thing i have ever seen. Thank you for helping to bring disney to life and bring my childhood nostalgia back. :)
I am a Latin woman , I just found this video and I can't believe how romantic and sweet this story is. The music, the lyrics, the orchestra playing as the actors move ....I love the final song where Belle sings that her home now is with the Besst ♥️♥️♥️ great performance!
This was truely an excellent play. I really enjoyed it! All of the characters seemed so real, the lighting and sound was OUTSTANDING, and everyone did a great job! Good work!
レモン Lemon Thank you sooo much!
Uuuuuuh oooooooookk.
This by far was the best I've ever seen the signing is wonderful the acting is wonderful
Jessica Mabb Thank you very much!
Imagine this lafou in the actual live action movie... amazing
Xb
Belle is my favorite princess and this actress more than does her justice. Lovely singing voice and gives Belle strength, warmth, and kindness.
I really love that the play humanizes the Beast more. That moment where he brings her food only to discover that she’s not even there to see it, along with the moment where he voices his fear that Belle will laugh when he tells her he is in love with her, are very powerful character moments for him.
hothotheat3000 Thank you so very much!
Ah! Finally! I love Susan Egan but I didn't really like how she sang as Belle for Beauty and the Beast on the original Broadway. But the lady who plays Belle here was amazing
That means so much, thank you Heidi!
49:07 LeFou: Gaston is the best and the rest is all drips! (hitting Gaston's foot)
Gaston: OW!!!
HAHAHA! That made me laugh when I first heard it
i’ve got inspired so much by this one, i was the beast in the play !!
Thank you for posting the play this is the best I have seen prerecorded out side of clips in Beauty and the Beast Goes to Broadway a Disney channel making of the play. Thank You
Currently watching this for inspiration since my auditions for beauty and the beast are coming up. Belle has been my dream role ever since I was little so wish me luck! This whole performance is beautiful btw, everyone took their characters so seriously and it shows. I'll try to update what role I get, thank you so much for uploading this :)
Update : I got Belle! I truly would’ve never thought I could get her but here I am. It still feels unreal, but I’m living proof that hard work and dedication truly pays off. At first I wasn’t even gonna go for her but instead I gave it a try. So to anyone reading, please take that chance! The worst that could happen is you don’t get that role but then you just move on instead of worrying ‘what if’. I want to thank this video & others for helping me achieve this! Sorry this is so late, I’ve been busy working on the production. 💛💌 I’m still in the rehearsal process and it’s so much fun. I’ll do another update when it’s closing night although I do not want to say goodbye to this role :’)
Last and final update : We closed. I bawled my eyes out so many times, including bows. This show holds such a special place in my heart. I was obsessed with this movie & Belle when I was little, and getting to perform it live has been so surreal. Forever grateful for this experience.. It feels like I just left the comment yesterday but it’s all over now. Belle taught me so much as a performer and I’ll never forget this. Time for more post show depression now…
what did u get
Did you get Belle?
update?
@@coolestbitchaliveever Hii, I ended up getting Belle! I’m sorry this is so late, I’ve been busy with rehearsals and summer. I updated my comment with more information
@@kowabungakelly Yes, I actually did! I updated my comment with more information :)
The beast was so impressive! Not only with how animalistic he is, but also with how he softens through out the show
Why wasn't THIS woman cast as Belle in the 2017 movie?? She's beyond fantastic!!!
Exactly!!!
TRUTH
As of right now I’m barely into it and already almost cried during the song with Belle and her Father
