I absolutely love the fact that Terrence Mann performs as the Beast for the majority of the show but is still able to perform the part of the Prince at the end. I really think it rounds off the character and I know it was probably difficult for them to figure out how to do it. Great show!

[@janeyrevanescence12]

My high school did BtaB for a musical one year and we actually had two actors for the transformation scene. One for the moment the Beast was dying and after the transformation. We covered the stage with fog and two stage hands rotated a set piece, which gave the actors enough cover and time to swap places. It wasn’t as amazing as the original Broadway version (which almost always gets a round of applause) but it was still well done.

[@TabrisFruLar]

It opened on Broadway 23 years ago, today. And I watched this (again) right now and a happy (nostalgic) tear ran down from my eyes. It will always be my favourite Broadway musical. I was lucky enough to watch it as a kid on NYC in 1994 and loved it. There are many great (even better) ones. But this will always have that special place in my heart.

[@Myth1cPhantom]

N Crafts I have to be honest, but Ramin wouldn't be a good beast only on account that Ramin is a dramatic Tenor where as the role of Beast calls for a pure Baritone, someone who can hit both Tenor and Bass notes. If there wasn't that kind of handicap on the Beast, i would love to see Ramin take on that role.

Howard Ashman(1950-1991, R.I.P.), who was the executive producer of the movie and the writer of the lyrics to ALL it's songs, would've been so proud of this and would've loved to have worked on it. I wonder if making this into a Broadway musical ever occurred to him at the time? It's ironic because he was a Broadway producer and he basically made the rough draft to what became a great Broadway musical! Howard always put the feeling and theme of Broadway into all the Disney movies, he worked on!

[@AlexMcGillvrey]

Remember when NBC recently aired that live version of The Sound of Music with Carrie Underwood? I hope Beauty and the Beast is the next musical to get a live broadcast. They should get Santino Fontana to play Gaston because of how he recently voiced that evil Disney prince in Frozen with Josh Gad playing Lefou because they sound alike. Don't forget it's the show 20th Anniversary of when it originally premiered.

[@MrPoochsmooch]

that's not a bad idea at all!!!

[@AlexMcGillvrey]

MrPoochsmooch Yeah and with Disney's Aladdin coming to Broadway shortly, they should celebrate this occasion by airing a televised version off their very first Broadway musical. They should also get Joel Grey to play Maurice, Belle's father; Ben Vereen(star of your favorite childhood show, Zoobilee Zoo) as Lumière, and Victoria Clark as Mrs. Potts.

[@cawney4]

Hmm... and Jonathan Groff as the Beast?? and Kristen Bell as Belle (haha, Bell as Belle)??? And then Idina Menzel gets left out....

I love the bit at 5:22 when Cogsworth and Lumiere give each other "Thumbs up" that everything's turned out so well.

[@musicaltheatrefan2k226]

I’m glad Gavin Lee (Lumiére) and Nigel Richards (Cogsworth) did that in the UK Tour! I guess Emma Caffrey (Plumette) should’ve responded with an OK 👌 sign.

[@Chocobo0Scribe]

When I saw this at Golden Gate theater a few years ago, while Lumiere did have real flames appear on his costume, the "Be Our Guest" sequence was a tad diluted compared to other scenes and Beast didn't have his cape-but the actor playing him just knocked it out of the park for the "If I can't Love her" number. In the prologue scene I think the enchantress was a puppet but due to the screen in front of the stage it was hard to tell. The guy they got to play Lefue seemed to have the ability to defy gravity-he pulled off a full forward midair somersault! And did some impressive acrobatics for the "Gaston" song. Gaston was just HILARIOUS in the first act I vaguely recall him doing a little leaning on the fourth wall while popping the question to Belle by looking at the audience as if saying "I got this." And Beast had a few funny moments as well, "DEEP BREATHS MASTER DEEP BREATHS!" then he and the servants all huddling together for that and then him running back and forth across the stage repeating the line: "Be a gentleman, be a gentleman." with a tray of covered food. The one that made me laugh the hardest was his one liner of "It's very...purple."

[@funkyflyswim]

props to them, they pretty much did the whole show in 5 mins. and its not easy hopping costumes like that in such a small time frame. i miss this show.

[@ketpiano]

I'm pretty sure at the Tony Awards "Me" and the intro to "Be Our Guest" were done live. When the curtain opens during the Be Our Guest chorus, it's a different stage (you can tell by the floor pattern and Susan Egan had a cast on at the Tony Awards) then the remainder of Be Our Guest and If I Cant Love Her were prerecorded, then it cuts back to "live" for the final Beauty and the Beast
