Very interesting. Who are the dancers?

[BRBRob]

@44Dianthus Hello, glad you enjoyed the clip. Belle is being performed by Nao Sakuma, and the role of the Beast is being performed by Robert Parker.

Rob.

Where can I watch the whole thing?

[BRBRob]

@beccaotaku We're dancing it again this autumn at Birmingham Hippodrome, 28 September - 2 October 2011. If you live too far away from Birmingham, don't despair, as we'll hopefully get a chance to film some more clips when studio rehearsals begin!

@BRBRob Cant you put up some more videos... Like the recent Beauty and the beast where nao reprises her role... with ian...

[BRBRob]

Hi @Lee6273 , glad to hear that you're a fan of Nao. I'm afraid that we've not got any clips from the recent performances as we're sadly not able to film everything that we do. Did you see her dance live in any of the recent shows?

absolutley beautiful :)

Wonderful company and fabulous ballet. I can't think of a single thing with the B.R.B. that I've not enjoyed immensely.

The website for the Birmingham Royal Ballet says that they're performing this in Salford, Lancashire even as I write this...can't you post some more clips (or even the whole ballet) for those of us who live outside the UK and won't get to see it? Pleeeeeeeeease????

[OreadNYC]

This is delightful. I love the fact that the Beast is a combination of tenderness and ferocity -- the way in which his hope of breaking the spell shines through, his apologies when he is too rough with Beauty or when she becomes frightened of him. You can also tell that even though Beauty is still afraid of him or repulsed by him, she's beginning to realize in spite of herself that he's not really as monstrous as he looks.

Saw this at the Lowry the other night, my first live ballet. It was magical. If it came back again I'd watch it. Fabulous.

I have no words... Maybe one... Beautiful.

I saw this a couple of years ago in Edinburgh. I wished I could have just stayed in the theatre and watched the whole thing again. Absolutely wonderful. I'd love to go again but money says no unfortunately.
