Beauty and the Beast- Broadway- 1994 Performance- Part 1

[terrarune]

All of the new Gaston's can learn a damn lesson.

[NuisanceMan]

Gascon looks like a comic book hero...LOL!

[EmseaHailey]

lumiere reminds me of the wizard in the wizard of oz... just sayin'

[qwik619]

CARPET!



[manxhedghog]

well, Cogsworth got his wish. no kickline... =(

[sarahdw93]

@manxhedghog The kickline is in part 2

[TheAnimatedAlien]

I love how they move like the actual cartoon characters- especially belle

[PrayerWarrior4]

Anthony Hopkins!!! :D!!

[McGarvinStudios]

Was there a double? How could Terrence go from human to beast form so quickly?

[TheWorldfuneral666]

I WANNA SEE THIS SO BAD. </3

[kevinpowers2]

GET TO SEE THIS TOMORROW IN EDMONTON!

[surferdude3451]

i prefer donny osmond as gaston.

[Mcrfan9192]

This Gaston is PERFECT

[TheAdrianananana]

HOLY SHIT! Lumiere was BRILLIANT!

[rockinprinses]

@TheAdrianananana You should see the dutch lumiere!

[Poet2916]

I wish they could've filmed this live on stage for DVD! *pouts* Maybe they'll do an anniversary thing

[surferdude3451]

Lumiere is a cute and a little bit creepy.

[TheCrontrol]

oh, it is.

[TheCrontrol]

narrator sounds like anthony hopkins.

[terrarune]

@TheCrontrol That's because it is.

[ShadowWolf850]

I whatched this it was soo kul i luved it.

[lionkinglover2662]

I love the beginning

[chloenoire]

Lumière is a little bit rapey. 

[Joshipher1]

Anyone else notice the Magic Carpet from Aladdin is in here at 2:48 ? :P hahahah

[TheAdrianananana]

@Joshipher1 lol that's the dog/foot rest thingy :D

[theatrebrat08]

I start rehearsal for this tonight. I'm recovering from a broken leg, so conveniently I'm playing "the Lady with the Cane" but I don't mind. I'm just excited to be in the show. :D

[gothedistancecuz]

so if this is suppose to be beauty and the beast, why is carpet from aladdin in this video at 2:48 jumping around

[wqwalkthroughs]

@gothedistancecuz That's the dog/cushion from the movie. Recall it?

[SophiaNC24]

@kyasst

shut up you obviously have no life. commenting twice.?

[PottersSuperhero]

YES YES! THE KICK LINE! WHY DOES THE VIDEO HAVE TO STOP AT THE KICK LINE?!

[splendiferousk]

We're doing this at my school and I'm in the pit orchestra. I love all the music, and I so wish I could have seen it on Broadway!

[ShadowFox909]

the guy who plays lumiere reminds me of the guy from the 2006 Producers...

[PottersSuperhero]

@ShadowFox909 I believe youre thinking of Nathan Lane?

[ShadowFox909]

@PottersSuperhero no, i the characters name was Roger DeBrie

[digikate813]

@ShadowFox909 Gary Beach? Yeah, it's the same guy.

[ShadowFox909]

@digikate813 Eee~! <3

[Btmngrl1]

Anthony Hopkins!!!



[superpenguino577]

IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE A SPECIAL SONG ONLY PERFORMANCE?

[hy42]

Our highschool is doing beauty and the beast, and i just got gaston. All i gotta say is, Burke Moses is a badass

[disneyworldcrazy1]

Who's Babette?

[KarinErickson12]

@nightangelstar

I'm doing it to and I wanted to be belle but I'm to young. So now I'm going to try for Silly girls

[nightangelstar]

We're doing this at my school and auditions are tonight! so nervous, I really want to be Babette...

[FreshToTheBeat]

Are they still showing this show on Broadway???

and if yes when was it last on ?

Its a fantastic musical ..love it :)

[Tiffmidon]

I'm obsessed with watching this. I wish the whole play was on here. I'd die happy, haha.



[Yumimi22]

or you can find the whole movie, it's very frustrating to have only excerpts!

[lolabell14]

I'm just so in love with this.

[VantrecePearlz28]

yeah so so good it was painful when she broke her am oh dear

[SuperZackMonster]

Is that Steve Martin?? Haha

[dottiedots221]

2:48-Oh hi, Margic Carpet from Aladdin :D

[7jjjjaaccoobb]

@dottiedots221 its the clock hahaha

[Ksanchez67]

@dottiedots221 its the clock lmfaooo Cx

[dottiedots221]

@Ksanchez67 you see the carpet run around with the others

[ng1493]

I sure hope New York and New Jersey got through through the storm alright.

[mochamegan123]

This. Is. So. Good. The transformation scene. . . Geniuses.

[animelozy]

The guy playing gaston - is he also the guy that did the disney voice? If not he sounds just like him :)

[luckysod04]

Dude, she even looks like Meg from Hercules

[kimers7685]

is the announcer anthony hopkins?

[JohnRyder666]

@kimers7685 I was just about to ask that! It does sound very much like him...

[JohnRyder666]

@kimers7685 Yeah it is :)

[IJVin]

As soon as Lumiere said "our" in "Be Our Guest," I recognized Roger deBris-- er, I mean Gary Beach.

[dancingjules1]

@IJVin That's exactly when I recongnized him too!!! :D

[IAMWillemL]

Dont like the costumes, too kitschy.

[NusandariMaranda]

so awesome!

[EVLuoNero]

I remember when I was in Beauty and the Beast. It was probably one of the best collaborations I was ever a part of.

[LavenderHoneyPancake]

This was such a great show! Why is it that they'll turn Spiderman into a musical and put it on Broadway but no one has put Aladdin (another great Disney from this era) on Broadway?

[Marshmally823]

@LavenderHoneyPancake Aladdin is a play, just not on Broadway yet :P They dont want more than one Disney 'princess' show on at a time. Hence why BatB went off when Little Mermaid came on.

[terrarune]

I wouldn't want to stay if there was a 6'0" candle shaking his hips and winking at me.

[ihatetwotimers]

I WANT THAT LUMIER COSTUME. IT IS SO BOSS.

[Marshmally823]

The Original Broadway Cast was INCREDIBLE!

[IfIWereArtemis]

I freakin love Broadway

[ktrulzandmaddifer]

"and we'll make a perfect pair much like my thighs!" i cracked up soooo hard at that part!!!

[ilive2sing22]

Wow, that man dancing with the rug slapped onto his front is great :D

[jesskarr89]

haha hannibal lecter is the narrator

[kronos7905]

@jesskarr89 Hehe! Be our guest, we've got some good Chianti here somewhere! :)

[FireSath]

Perfect Gaston.

[HPnDisneyGeek]

SUSAN EGAN IS MEGG'S VOICE FROM HERCULES! CRAZY!

[god7man]

OH MY GOSH! Lumiere is Roger Dubree in The Producers(2005)!!!!!

[Galygal77]

how does lumiere hold the cane and hat?

[JayCee926]

@Galygal77 there are holes in the candles @ 2:11 ish you can see it

[honorableshadow]

Gary Beach always looks like he's having awesome fun! 8D

[DeadendCountDown]

Omg, Belle is actually beautiful! And Gaston is actually Handsome lol! The other Beauty and the Beast musicals i've seen SUCKED compared to the way this one looks xD

[2emma1]

The choregraphy is AMAZING!

[toughcookie5454]

gonna play belle :)

[CursiveType]

Poor Susan Egan! She had a broken arm during this performance.

She's wonderful, isn't she?

[Marshmally823]

@CursiveType Wow! I have seen this clip 5 times and i never noticed! Kudos to her!

[FoxgloveWanderer]

@CursiveType Wasn't it a broken ankle she git earlier in the number? Or was that another Belle?

[hannah4667]

@CursiveType isn't that belle

[ShamrocksRLucky]

@CursiveType How did you find out?  =]

[OtakuChixx]

@CursiveType Really?! damn she hides it very well

[surferdude3451]

@CursiveType Yep.The poor girl.

[broadwaystar92]

I had a huge smile on my face throughout this whole video. THIS IS MY ULTIMATE DREAM.

[sjac232]

that IS anthony hopkins as the narrator. this was the 1994 tonys and he was a host. so, you've got hannibal lecter and then meg from hercules as belle hahaha! and yes, her arm is definitely broken. she's holding it up but not moving it and all the guys keep jerking her around by her left arm!

[carcrusher38]

this musical is all over the place that dosent even go with this sceen

[Hyndurie]

@carcrusher38 they just cut the video to show you a previewwww

i did this musical at my school last year haha trust me i know whats going onnn xD

[dannysimion]

dang, i would have LOVED to be in the audience watching this play...darn !

[JeanProductions12]

ok so who didn't die laughing when Guston showed up?

[bubbleboydave10]

@JeanProductions12 who didn't die laughing when this guy wrote "Guston" instead of "Gaston"?

[Izzy41630]

@bubbleboydave10 I will admit, I did too. But it's an easy one to typo. When my theatre group put on a Disney Revue, that happened once, and we called him 'Guston' during rehearsals forever.

And 'Jafer', instead of Jafar. That was a fun one. Guston and Jafer. :)

[bubbleboydave10]

@Izzy41630 During my rehearsals for this play, this one girl wrote her notes spelling it Geston, so now me and my mate who we both played Gaston take the piss :D

[MrDarkmaster98]

I am playing the Beast in my school play.

[Pinkpanda73]

WOAH i ddnt notice she wasnt moving her right arm 'til now! wat happened?

[SoundSoldier10]

@Pinkpanda73 She broke it while she was in the middle of a show. The next year she broke her leg. On stage, again. :)

[CrazyViper2783]

@SoundSoldier10 wow. props to her

[CliffB4]

IS IT JUST ME OR IS ANTHONY HOPKINS THE NARRATOR?!?!?!

[calisigner]

ok  definitely dont like the added gaston song, its creepy

[SxyChicDisney]

it's supposed to be funny

[EYDstudios]

I like how when she's coming to hide from the storm the ABC storm watch thing comes up. That made my day.

[olliezlol]

You can just hear Meg when she says "like you" at 1:06. SUSAN EGAN IS SO GOOD

[SneakerBeeker]

Oh, Anthony Hopkins.

:)

[inuyashaluvskag]

i saw this as a kid when it came to columbus. loved it.

[Miobby097]

Laugh out loud, I love how the enchantress does her damage then leaves, ha ha it's like every other women in the world.

[Miobby097]

THAT'S THE UGLIEST BEGGER WOMAN EVER!

(THAT'S AN AMAZING THING!)

[lovebaby488]

ooo its the guy from The Producers!

[tanyarus]

I love how Belle is the same person who voiced Megara :D

[Heowa]

@tanyarus Absolutely! =D I knew her as Meg first, and the first couple of times I listened to the Beauty and the Beast Broadway recording, I always had Meg in mind when Belle sang. Which was quite funny since the characters are so different!^^

[tanyarus]

@Heowa That's so cool! :D<3

[geniirena]

Rather like my THIGHS!!

[Emberdarkflame]

Is it me or does Gaston look like John Travolta?

[debbie1mm]

everyone who has got to do with this is amazing!

[JediMasterHorton]

Good ole hannibal lecter

[livethemagic91]

@TheMargs12 He says "Oh no! Not the kick line!"

[crazytown33]

the enchantress looks like she has giant balls

[DisneyGirl161]

@TheMargs12 I think it might be "No, no, not the kick line."

[JSwrongchoice]

The little mermaid on broadway is better then this one though love the songs in it ^vv^

[TheDestroyerMeda]

The first story was kinda creepy.

[missAUDACITY]

I love the costumes -- well, everything, actually. But the costumes are especially stunning! The little details are astounding!

[Star2Be5394]

Whoever designed the costumes in this show, cast it, made the sets, wrote the music/orchestrations, wrote the lyrics, directed it, did the lights, did the special effects, choreographed it, and trained all these performers deserves the BIGGEST THUMBS UP EVER.  (One to each of those people) :)

[junebug6446]

gaston is amazing! lol

[Rikkufairyglade]

I love Susan!! Shes fantastic!

[jarofdirt23]

i've been in two productions of this show. i played lumiere and then gaston. i just love that they both get songs in the tony's performance. like, they're the two best characters. just makes me happy. oh and can anthony hopkins narrate MY LIFE?

[funspot101]

i remember seeing this as a child, i wanted to see it last week but it's not there! WTF!?! all the needed were better costumes! Everything was fine! >:O

[aruwin25]

the prince is so not handsome

[boolun]

i'd kill to be on broadway

[calibre9mm]

holy crap! ray liotta is gaston! what a great voice i never knew he had

....

[josav408]

@calibre9mm -It's Burke Moses as Gaston, not Ray Liotta

[calibre9mm]

@josav408 LOL i was being sarcastic, it looks like him.

[Peanutsfan1823]

Beauty and the beast is touring!I'm seeing it Saturday!in SF sadly 4th show ive seen buy ur tikets now! 1 week per city!

[abigator21]

@Peanutsfan1823 Haha I saw in San Fran too! It was AWESOME!!!

[onionmayn]

The candle was absolutely hilarious.

[phantom4evr101]

WHY OH WHY DID THEY CLOSE THIS SHOW???? >=/ I know that they didn't want competition between beauty and the beast, mermaid, and lion king but (no offense to mermaid fans) Little Mermaid didn't even last that long...Please Disney bring this show back I'm begging you...i plan to see the Networks production but ive seen videos and it is clear that the visual effects are no where near as "mind blowing" plz disney give the fans a revival!

[CHRIchannel]

lol, Gaston XD

[TeamRenesmee117]

wow this is great!

[MrsCamui]

I just saw this show tonight. I loved it so much! I wish I could see it again, but it would be another $50 from my pocket. :' (

[Simplysims001]

Mary Poppins All the way!!!

[AyameAzumi]

WHAT DOES THE CLOCK SAY AT THE END??

"OH NO NOT THE ........"

[CptGatsby]

@AyameAzumi "OH NO, NOT THE KICK-LINE!"

Fortunately for Cogsworth (but unfortunately for the rest of us), it cuts off before the kick-line begins. :P

[FlowersInHisHair]

Cut off at the kick-line! NOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo

[TheBillieJean1234]

Susan looks like the Belle in the animated movie a bit. It's pretty cool. I love Susan's voice!

[Codiefgk101]

@TheBillieJean1234 thas cause i think she really did play belle on the animated movie

[SoundSoldier10]

@Codiefgk101 No, Susan played Meg in Hercules. Paige O'Hara played Belle in Disney's animation. :)

[Codiefgk101]

@SoundSoldier10 no i know she played meg i just wasnt sure if she played belle or not

[jhangelgurl]

Oh i saw this on broadway 30 days before they closed. I waited 13 years to see this on broadway and I cried like a lil baby at the end. <3

[Heathersama]

gah do they have a dvd for this?

[theRegalX]

The Little Failure kicked this show out of its own house? What a shame! They need to bring it back as soon as Addams Family ends! :)

[JessFeser]

I got really excited when I realized that Anthony Hopkins was the narrator! Ah yeah!

[RexBlazer1]

Is that Anthony Hopkins as the narrator?

[brecfhelt]

is the guy who plays the candlestick the same guy in who played Mr. Thénardier in Les Mis - kinda grainy pic, so I can't tell

[gluedhand]

This is amazing but I have to admit the little mermaid wasnt the worst thing Id ever seen.

[MaryBridget12]

To be perfectly honest, only Lion King and Beauty and the Beast were good braodway shows that I support. They are both magnifcent, simply because they are solid enough shows to exist on their own without a movie backing them up.....

[mockingbird465]

they should put the nightmare before christmas on broadway!!!! plus they shud bring this back too!!!! :D

[blueaardvark1717]

@mockingbird465 nightmare before chrismas is a great idea 4 broadway i never thought of that one. it would b awsome

[losers34455]

Ahh, This is Great :D

[gluedhand]

This is the best Gaston ive ever seen

[MrHalt]

The original cast? You mean these are the same people that were in the movie?

[ActingROX01]

@MrHalt no this is the OBC or Original BROADWAY cast

[MadameChristie]

Or just bring over the Hunchabck production theynahd in Germany. That would would be awesome...by this rocks too...I never got a chance to see it unfortunately XP

[katyleah320]

Anthony Hopkins!

[ohhMOONshoesPOTTER]

Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King = AMAZING!!!!!!!

[Ryokochan89]

haha i loved it when gaston dragged bell across the stage.
