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.

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.

[@mcmptn]

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!

[@mcmptn]

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

[@proverbialloaf]

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!

[@mcmptn]

@@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.

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. ✨🌹✨

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❤

[@dominkazieciak2316]

And - God I miss tell about it! - you are perfect Belle❤

The actor playing lumiere was AMAZING am i the only one who loved his acting? And he was hella funny

[@klynbaker2370]

he really is! and continues to entertain. :D

You guys were amazing. I'm in love with the Beast, but that's okay.

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)

[@linneawhitton7074]

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.

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!

[@isabellp.5730]

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.

[@CatieCass]

@@isabellp.5730 Well said, lady! 😁

[@ingridsuperfreak]

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!

[@agsmashups]

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!

[@agsmashups]

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 😂

[@emilyabbott2979]

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! ❤️

[@winkleWHAT]

That was a GREAT job. Especially the Orchestra. It is very difficult to do quality shows of this caliber. Being a Broadway musical director, I commend you. Well done Cast and Crew ! Hats off !

[@benjamincollins8559]

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!

[@theawkweirdchild4675]

Happy belated birthday

[@AwesomeOKing0197]

The narrator sounded very good. I mean, really cool. This whole version of the BatB play is okay in my book

[@lexpfeffer1601]

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.

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.

[@skate_fast_eat_trash9430]

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.

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.

Gaston does amazing in this performance, and he was a great pick, but he always cracks me up when he talks or sings, and it’s just higher or less manly of a tone than you expect from Gaston

[@m1stak3n22]

This is great! I didn't even realize i watched it to the end lol. One thing did bug me a bit tho... when there's a big group of people singing some are really quiet and you can't really hear them. I guess they didn't have anymore mics :p But overall, the cast is really good! I liked LeFou alot.

[@Janeskinner1]

not everyone was mic'd...Only the leads. Hearing it live was much better quality than was picked up on the video.
