Stars in the Alley A Change in Me Beauty and the Beast

[EnchantedMind0]

she is AMAZING

[Avalon4pagans]

any one notice when she's belting she almost sounds like Judy Garland?

[degeorgetitanic]

thats what i thought lol

[entertainer1987]

Anneliese is going to star in a musical called "Vanitites" which will premiere at the Pasadena Playhouse next month prior to opening on Broadway.

[AJKLOPOTOSKI]

I'd REALLY like to see Sutton Foster in this role one day...

[Judill]

I don't know how well Sutton would do Belle... she's not really an ingenue. She's too comedic for this type of role.

[gotolivia]

I heard little mermaid got really bad reviews

[vellure]

So did BATB and Wicked the first time they came out. And look how much they grossed.

[gotolivia]

oh yeah thats true...wicked is my favorite musical ever and little mermaid is really starting to grow on me. its becoming one of my favorite musicals even though i havent seen it yet but i will for sure sometime soon. but im always gonna miss beauty and the beast no matter what....it was a really amazing show.

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

@vellure She never did Wicked, and was the last Belle.

[vellure]

@TerribleGreenBlizzrd WTH are you talking about... the response i had 2 years ago was regarding BATB running for 13 years and how poor the reviews on its debut yet still favoured by many which is the same with Wicked. I know that she never did wicked and was the last Belle. GEEZ talk about picking a very old comment of mine to correct which ended up in a FAIL.

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

@vellure Excuse me. I didn't see that you were replying to another comment because, you didn't hit reply and your comment was under "highest rated comments".

[vellure]

@TerribleGreenBlizzrd @TerribleGreenBlizzrd The comment was "replied" to a previous comment but after being thumbs up it was promoted on top of the list of comments. Plus my comment NEVER stated that she did WIcked, how would my wordings "they" relate to her alone and "grossed" to be relative to what Anneliese has done? You clearly didn't understand the comment!!!

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

@vellure OKAY! My goodness. Since I had no knowledge you were replying to a comment, and your first statement was a fragment finishing another comment, I assumed you left something out. You didn't. I'm sorry. It was just a misunderstanding, nothing more, nothing less.

[Broadway1day]

I was upset when i heard it was closing but The Little eraid looks like a great show, so don't dismiss it until you actually see it

[pureute10125]

i think that the tempo's a little fast but beside that she's good!

[Cheesy101]

I think she should have been Ariel instead of Belle. She sings better than that Sierra person who's gonna play Ariel.

[Defygravity09]

I agree. I hope she plays Ariel when Sierra is done. That's the only way you'd get me to see the little mermaid. But she was so amazing as Belle.

[greenelphiexoxo]

Sierra is awesome! She's perfect for the part look up her ' Part of your World' it's awesome!

And yes, Annelise IS awesome too. But don't bash Sierra

[AvidActress007]

I agree with Greenelphiexoxo, actually.

I mean..Annelise is good..but I'm not sure if she was trained properly. There are some moments when you watch her perform this live when she looks as if she is in pain and sounds a bit like Ethel Merman if you close your eyes. Nothing against Merman..but yeah. Sierra is AMAZING.

[gotolivia]

yea sierra is one of the best broadway actresses ive ever seen. shes absolutely PERFECT for the role of ariel..i REALLY REALLY want to see her in that show.

[buffymovies]

you must not have seen that many then. its her first show on broadway and ariel is not exactly the acting challenge of a lifetime

[AJKLOPOTOSKI]

Where did she come from!?!?!?! WHY IS SHE NOT ARIEL IN LITTLE MERMAID!?!?!!

[Defygravity09]

Happy Birthday to the greatest actress and singer in the whole wide world! Anneliese van der Pol!

[holpol13]

Wow !

She Is Absoloutly Brilliant, Thats Live, yep thats right NOT MIMED

Shes Like So Fab, Shes A Credit To Disney !

Hope To See More Of Her

My Idol & Rolemodel:D

[jhgkhgkhgj]

she sucksand is mean

[Defygravity09]

well you suck and you're mean too so you 2 would get along great

[lilscorpie]

Hey leave him alone! Maybe he's had a bad experience with her. Maybe he doesn't like the way she sings. Not everyone on the planet thinks she's God's gift to musical theater...deal with it. Everyone's entitled to their opinion whether or not it differs from yours.

[Defygravity09]

Yes Mam!!

[broadwaygirl90]

i was annoyed when i found out this show was closing, especially for The Little Mermaid. i really hope there is a revival! and this video really doesnt show her talent at all.

[kelly02133]

i was so mad when i found out that little mermaid was replacing beauty & the beast. i mean i love both disney movies but beauty and the beast is such a classic and did great on broadway it shouldnt be closing at all!! Nobody wants it to! Plus Anneliese could have played Belle for soooo much longer, she was by far the best at it! Susan Egan was also good i heard, but i only saw Anneliese and ive always been a huge fan so she's just amazing lol!

[kelly02133]

she sings it a lot different here than other times, but of course she's still amazing i wish i could meet her! i saw her as belle on broadway though and i loved her! haha, and i love how she has to hold down her dress because of how windy it is!

[Defygravity09]

Hey I met her!! I'm very happy now!

[HorribleMorrible]

she sounds fantastic. i wish i could see her before it closed.

[drawken]

After listening to this, and saw that this girl is closing BATB I was a bit dissapointed in their casting.

I then did search and found her on ImmortalObsession

profile. She has really good voice but this performance doesn't show her talent at all. Everyone has bad days.

[SEAHAWKLOVER]

honestly, i agree with u guys. this should NOT close!! it was my first broadway show, too!! but, there will porbably be a revival. (hopefully)

[hzimdahl]

i agree and disagree... i definitely don't think Beauty and the Beast should go off because it was also my first broadway show... but i do believe the The Little Mermaid is going to be incredible... i mean think of everything they can do with that... it's under water... the costumes... and under the sea is going to be incredible...

[funkifieddx3]

true. they should of put little mermaid at the richard rodgers theater where tarzan was and not close this.

[bboi428]

hello just to let you know they were planning to close beauty and the beast fro about 9 months and tarzan they didnt know that tarzan would close due to lack of interest. i do agree with you because now there is going to be an empty theatre because disney owns it unless they decide to give it up

[hersheygurl2257]

they are replacing beauty and the beast with little mermaid thats why they closed it in the first place...but it'll be back

[entertainer1987]

I don't think the show will return until whenever "The Little Mermaid" closes. Thomas Shumacker, the head of Disney Theatrical, doesn't like the idea of havig two princess musicals open at the same time.

[biglittlekid]

If you're talking about the Richard Rodgers theater, In The Heights will be taking it. They open in Feb I think

[funkifieddx3]

anneliese is the best as belle. & beauty and the beast shouldnt be closing. i personally think that the little mermaid wont last long and that beauty and the beast will come back.

[dudewheresmydignity]

i wish beauty and the beast wasn't closing.

[SClubRoxs]

I know! It makes me so sad since Beauty and the Beast was my First Boradway show. I wish they were going to put The Little Mermaid where Tarzan currently is since it is going to close anyways. I <3 Beauty and the Beast!!!

[LetTheGreenGirlGo]

I just saw her Saturday and she was fantastic...

[joeman77ad]

well if you look at the weather thats going on...her dress is flying up...there is alot of feedback from the speakers...its just not a great condition to perform in! Given all those complications she did a marvelous job!!

[dinochild65]

Yeah i noticed she wasnot singing her best due to her not being comfortable, standing stiff as a board, cuase her dress is flying up. That being the case i give her 10.

[karenhensz]

I saw her perform in broadway. She's an AMAZING belle. I think it's the music that's giving her problems as well as the wind. Her doing this in the actual production is AMAZING. I never knew she had such a great voice.

[soccerplyr15]

When she sang this song during the show, the shook the theatre with her voice. She's an awsome Belle, I've got tickets to the fairwell performance and I can't wait to hear her again.

[DanceWithMeLnL]

She rocks. But come on give her a break, she is trying to stop her dress from flying up

[defyingglory]

sowhatnamecanihave... lol do you know what flat is or are you just trying to sound smart? haha learn what it is before you start critisizing her, she sounds fabulous.

[jaso937]

I LOVE ANNELIESE!!! but she doesn't sound to great here. Her voice sounds really hard and harsh,i think she may be sick here that's all.

[RENTlover12345]

She is amazing as Belle, and she is a sweetheart, when i went to the stagedoor she was so nice.

[Defygravity09]

Does she come out the door after every show? I will be going back there next week and I really really REALLY want to meet her

[sowhatnamecanihave]

i've been told the anneliese is meant to be a good belle, but here she's singing really flat!
