[Madrigalsrox]

This lighting is terrible!

[97Hallelujah]

what are the girls in the yellow dresses supposed to be?

[loura246]

nice job belle. very apropriate time to break into song.

[alzanoletti]

Terrible wig for Belle. but great performance by the actress.

[alexzinger123]

Ive seen some pathetic attempts at killing gaston, but that may just take the cake!

[xXxmendingheartxXx]

lol "hey you're kinda cute!"

[patriciajune5]

awesome costume, set, and everything. I like it. :)

I saw the Broadway tour of this at the Pantages theatre in L.A. I don't know HOW they do it, but some of the tech they can do is ASTOUNDING! Definitely Broadway magic! Rather than smoke, they had him float up into the air perfectly visible and spin around at high speed, and somehow when he landed he had removed the Beast stuff, even though we could all see him for the most part the whole time! It's truly amazing. I LOVE Broadway :)

[startobe22]

@michealgoff Do you have a favorite scene that you performed?

[Meelzdiva]

dude waay to much fog at the end

[rjmohun]

Gaston: SHUUUUT up.

[ethalinia]

Wow, Belle is amazing... definitely Broadway quality! I agree on the wig, though, that is definitely NOT of Broadway quality :P

[indyjake210]

How much were royalties and all that for this show?

[WFCSCproductions]

i played beast in my production!! how much of a relief is it to take off the prostetics and make up!!!! and then put on a long wig and saggy clothes! made me feel so light hahaha

[kzomo123]

The wig is awful!!!!!! haha

[TreetopCanopy]

The whole cast is great! I especially like the people who played LeFou and Babette. No one appreciates the secondary leads.

[Orsonbabe]

The best I've ever seen this transformation done was when the Westend were doing this production there was no smoke, it was weird like it was exactly like they did it in the film with sparks going off and like fireworks and it actually looked like when they lifted his limp body up into the air like it was changing. It was about four years ago now and for the life of me I still can't work out how he changed. Because his body was limp right up until they put him down on the ground.

V. late comment (just viewed your clip). Up until 2:56 I was thinking that the orchestra was a professionally produced backing track, as the tuning, balance and precision is so good ... then a slightly off-key trumpet and heavy handed pianist proved that this was played live! Good work by the MD - but WHY are so many entrances mismatched to musical cues during The Battle?! I am presently BEATING my cast into recognising musical cues to time their on-stage action!

[Humbledingify]

EPIC!

[Melensko]

wow belle is amazing

[RabbitDance]

When I saw it the best flew in the air and they did a magic trick and changed him back. I was just a child and I believed it was real magic.

[RoryDoesntFrown]

This Belle had an amazing voice. If only she had a better wig! lol.

AMAZING set!!!

[NARCOusins]

Interesting. Def. a well concealed switch. Not necessarily the way I'd go with it but it was very good. Great job. And that set was AMAZING.

[NARCOusins]

Oh, and Belle you've just got a fantastic voice.

[kpe0712]

I loved Gaston and the actor who played him. Was this community theater and if so, these actors were fantastic!

[Petalpelt19]

I'm in the Beauty and the Beast play at my school.I love the transformation!I hope we could do as good!

[chungy2009]

Awesome play!

[funkydancer1]

her voice is exactly the kind of voice i like for belle. sounds kind of like susan egan's voice. i guess that's why i like it. haha

[achmed113]

Was this an rcstra or soundtrack?

[Megararocks]

I think it waas an orcastra

[michaelgoff]

@achmed113 orchestra

[achmed113]

at the beginning, was that Gaston telling Lefou to shut up

[PTri7922]

the transformation was EPIC. belle had an ok voice. so did the beast...they were just ok.

the battle was well done. the ending sucked though.

and i'm playing lumire now in b&tb....the lumiere here is HORRIBLE...omg he's so bad. that accent is all wrong. all the french words were BUTCHERED. AHHHHH!!!!!

and babette was alright...her accent sucked too.

mrs. potts and chip were AMAZING and so was the wardrobe...and Lefou!

[BrokenAngel77]

beautiful, just beautiful

[eBooeBoo]

WOW!! Great Gaston, Belle, and Beast!! The Belle in here is probably the best one I've ever seen, and the Beast has such a low voice (while I've heard other Beasts that was on the borderline of alto).

Thank you so much for uploading!

[megadisneyfan2]

cool

[jilljcw]

wow! where was this show at?! and i was wondering if you could tell me how the transformation was done, we're doing the show and so far we like your idea most. fantastic job!

[michaelgoff]

the show was in Sandy, Utah. the transformation was done with a fog machine backstage and a strobe light.

[achmed113]

That was good, who did you play?

[michaelgoff]

the cheesegrater

[phantomhippie]

I get to this on tour in 2010 with my mother and I got the front row! It'll be great! I loved Beauty and the Beast ever since I was a little kid I saw it in Disney World and then I saw the Broadway version followed by other productions many times! I cried everytime I used to watch the movie when the Beast changed back into the Prince it was so beautiful I feel lke crying right now! I was in a local production as M. D'Arque and the Narrarator! I miss those times!

[BrodwayAsh2010]

I was in this show just a couple weeks ago for our community theatre. I was Belle and it was so much fun...this scene was so realistic we had people actually crying in the audience.

[cowgirlleah12]

really good.....liked it alot.

[michaelgoff]

thanks!
