I really love the touch of the puppeteers beneath the table smiling and waving as their bow after that amazing dishes sequence. That takes some huge timing and talent, they definitely earned a nod all their own.
Its so strange for a puppeteer to receive recognition, Its one of those jobs that is only noticed when its done badly. Really nice for them to wave in this. they deserve it!
I love Martin Short. Everytime he does that accent, I think of Franck from Father of the Bride. He killed it as usual. And so did Shania Twain. The whole thing is beautiful. Took me back to 8 yrs old watching it on VHS tape and singing every word. I loved it
They could not have picked a more perfect Lumiere! Martin Short was brilliant! I just adore him. And you can tell he's having SOOOO much fun in this!!!! Shania - goddess! I'm one day younger than her - 57! Look how gorgeous she is and how strong and PERFECT her voice still is! She had Lyme disease which damaged her vocal chords but clearly they've fully healed!
I think actually her voice still isnt quite fully recovered - range still not what it once was and they had to be careful with her in rehearsals as well. She was wonderful though.
I feel like a little kid watching this for the first time. I have goosebumps. The pure magic of this could make anyone feel like a little kid again. I don't know whether to applaud or say thank you. And as for Martin Short, I swear we don't deserve this man. Still crushing it after all these years.
THIS. This is why so many people love theatre, or at least why I love it. It’s a combined passion-soup of so many talented folks with so many amazing skills! It’s clear that everyone involved had the time of their lives putting this together, and it’s amazing!
I had no idea Martin Short could perform like this. Shania was great and thank you for allowing the people under the table to wave and be a little visible after their stunning work. That couldn’t have been easy.
Martin Short was in the original cast of Godspell and has starred in three Broadway musicals, and you’re still somehow surprised he can perform live? 😂
i said from the start that casting Martin Short as Lumiere was absolutely inspired. I genuinely can't think of anyone who can pull off that kind of frantic, fabulous, infectiously joyful energy as well as he does.
Jim Carrey. Hugh Jackman. If you’re looking for theatre vets, Gavin Lee, Patrick Page, John Tartaglia, Gavin Creel, Christian Borle, Andrew Rannells, John Bolton, Wesley Taylor, Christopher Fitzgerald…
Arguably one of the most recognizable, and yes, overused, songs from the Disney canon. And yet, Martin Short still managed to find new life in it, while paying homage to the original. And Shania Twain, an unlikely and yet very strong Mrs. Potts. Kudos to both...this was rousing!
@@amjiva I know people got tired of "Let it Go" mostly because they had kids that played it 100 times, but I still like that song and that's one of my favorite movie scenes. Partly because I live in Minnesota and really like the snow lol.
This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S HOW THE MOVIE SHOULD HAVE BEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Magnificent, superb, true artists, everyone envolved, ASTOUNDING, BRAVI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That table is alive! Literally! I was thinking if they will just show the movie in the background and oh boy we were given the best treat! Hats off to the production team! This is magical!
@@possumprincess239 have you been living in a cave for the past 30 years? Shania has since become the Country Pop Queen and one of the most celebrated divas.
It was this very movie that got me into Angela Lansbury. She is so amazing. Then I run into this, this morning and see that Shania Twain is Mrs. Potts. I cannot say enough how much I loved all of this. I adore Shania and seeing her in a role singing the very song that got me to love Angela Lansbury was.... moving to say the least. Everything in this was outstanding but I can't say enough about Shania. Love, love, love all of this. She just proved why I love her.
Perfection! The way they did the dancing dishes, the costuming and performances are all 5*. As an adult it's entertaining and if I was still a child I'd be mesmerized.
Shania Twain was the biggest surprise for me! It wasn’t that I didn’t think she could do it. It was just never having thought to pick her for the role. She did a very lovely job. She didn’t try to be Angela Lansbury just honored her performance by doing a beautiful one of her own instead. ❤ And of course a Martin Short and David Allen Grier were top shelf, too!
@@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue Yes it was him singing on a pre-recorded track, but he wasn't singing live, ie singing and acting were not happening at the same time...
Shania was an unexpected choice for Mrs Potts, and indeed it isn't the Mrs Potts we used to - but I still absolutely adore her in this role! The way she made the character her own is very very impressive and she's got such a powerful energy (at, like 55?)
This is amazing - the voices, the choreography, THOSE COSTUMES 🥹 Beauty & the Beast was my favorite Disney movie as a kid! The year after it came out, my dance school’s annual recital was A Tribute to Disney, and my tap class danced to Be Our Guest 🥹 Haha this song has a special place in my heart for that very reason 😂
I thought I couldn't love Marty more, but after this... I realised that my love for him has increased a lot with this fantastic performance 🥰 His energy it's amazing, his singing it's so powerful... I mean, he IS Lumiere
I am blown away by the magnificence of this performance! I clicked on this just to glance once, but was mesmerized by the quality of this performance. Thank you to everyone involved and especially the table performers. They were amazing!
If you’re surprised that Martin Short can sing, don’t forget that he sang “Playing With The Big Boys” in Prince of Egypt with Steve Martin and they also had the Three Amigos theme song.
Well he did star in a production of the musical Godspell with his fellow SCTV alumnis Dave Thomas, Victor Garber, and Eugene Levy and that seemed to help him out a lot.
This production was AMAZING!! H.E.R. nailed it in playing Belle, Josh Groban played an amazing Beast and the rest of the cast was just superb!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wow! ❤ Shania Twain really nailed the part of Ms. Pots. I would never have guessed anyone could have ever done this as well as Angela Lansbury did. Rest in peace Angela.
I have to disagree on Shania's vocals. She's not projecting through the end of the lines on the slightly higher notes. Like a rough transition from chest voice to head voice in a place where it really shouldn't be. Despite not having sold a bazillion albums, Martin short outperformed her hands down.
I absolutely love how this special paid tribute to Beauty and the Beast's rich and storied history! I especially love how the costumes are more similar to the stage musical!
This is amazing! This song always hyped me up in the movie, especially the renaissance version. I always wanted that scene to be respected for the pure musical magic. This is perfect. Bravo!
Yas! She slayed her performance of Beauty and the Beast as well. I’m glad that after everything that happened with her getting Lyme disease and losing her voice she’s regained some of her confidence and her vocals are improving as evident between this and her peoples choice awards performance. Plus she still looks gorgeous🥹
Martin Short pulled this number perfectly! And Shania Twain did a great job as Mrs. Potts, putting her own creativity to it. Especially that we are used to the Angela Lansbury rendition. These two are excellent professionals in their craft!
T.Y. to Martin Short/Shania Twain & All the Cast Et al !! ~ This, Enjoyable & Wonderful Performance gave & brought back, much needed more Innocent times, than this Chaotic World we live in today.. Bravo to them All !!
OMFG, impressive, that was what the live action should have been! Felt like I was back to my child days watching this, for I realized as I've grown up that I had slowly become like the villagers (lost in routine, making money to pay my bills), and even more considering how these decades have been rough in my country. I totally forgot what I was to be like Belle. I'm tearing up!
Really enjoyed watching the whole thing & loved how they acknowledged Angela. Just a bit sad she wasn't there IN person to see it. But I'm sure she was watching & singing along in Heaven.
Martin Short as Lumierre is perfect! I think people forget he’s a performer first and foremost and he nailed this song!
Yeah, Martin performs all of these zany characters and he performs them really well.
Eat your heart out Jerry Orbach. 😆
More spirited performance than Orbach or McGregor for sure.
He was ready for this moment 🤩
@@sephyhot Correction he was meant for this role.

Omg agree!! It was such a cute, sweet touch that really made it feel like a TRUE group performance!!
They are “puppeteers” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love Martin Short. Everytime he does that accent, I think of Franck from Father of the Bride. He killed it as usual. And so did Shania Twain. The whole thing is beautiful. Took me back to 8 yrs old watching it on VHS tape and singing every word. I loved it
With a touch of Maurice Chevalier too!!!
Haha. Loved that roll! Cracks me up!
He was also great as Preminger in Barbie Princess and the Pauper who has a great villain song.
He also did Hubie in Pebble and the Penguin
“Every party needs a pooper that’s why we invited you!”
This is what I hoped the movie would be. Thank you broadway and all the performers for this amazing concert.
exactlyyyyy
Practical effects would ALWAYS be better than CGI!
@@addichronicles5044 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MikaMoonlight This was a live performance with animation. There was no CGI.

All I can say is WOW!!!!
Martin Short pulled it off. What a performer.
BRAVO!!!!!
Agreed!!
I didn't notice martin short pulling anything off..What broke?
@rbee3936 I think they were referring to the term “pulling off” in reference to doing something really well. I could be mistaken though :3
Yes pulled it off can mean managed to do it adequately, or managed to do it very well. In this case, very well.
Martin Short never ceases to amaze me! He is so talented!
Martin Short has as much energy as a 20-year-old. It's like he's a 20-year-old trapped inside a 72-year-old's body.
Tres magnifique!

The whole performance the person who was playing the chair Belle was sitting in was sending me😂
He'll be asking H.E.R. what brand of shampoo she uses so he can treat his significant other it 😂
I cannot express how much I love Shania's vocal acrobitics when she says "impressed". I have rewatched it multiple times, and I just LOVE her voice.
Magnificent! Martin Short and Shania Twain are pure perfection!
Wait a minute!! How can a Tony Award winner team up with a Country singer?!!!....

I never thought Martin Short would ever pull off the role of Lumiere, and after seeing it, I thought wrong!
I never doubted his capability. This is his talent
How did you ever doubt him? He's Martin Short!
I thought of him as Lumiere before he was Lumiere :D. He honestly could play any living singing home decor item lol.
Umm... what?? How long have you known him? Please watch more of his performances! I honestly only decided to watch this clip because he was Lumiere!
Didn’t you watch the movie Father of the Bride when he played ‘ Franc’? He could absolutely pull off the role of a crazy French man. 😂
MARTIN SHORT, YOU'RE MAGNIFIQUE!!!! 😍
Adore his voice! Such a very talented human being ❤️
