Beauty and the Beast, Broadway (1995)

Cast: Jeff McCarthy (Beast), Christianne Tisdale (Belle, understudy), Stephen Bishop (Gaston, understudy), and a great supporting cast

I was really hoping to see Chuck Wagner as the Beast, but Jeff McCarthy did a great job. The cast was very good.

The music is good, as it was in the movie, and the sets and costumes are wonderful. I think that some things they changed from the movie could have been done on stage and were presented in a way that seemed like they wanted to save money rather than give the audience the best result, but I know that happens a lot on Broadway.

The best thing about Beauty and the Beast is that it gets a lot of parents to take their children to a Broadway theatre to see a show and I think this introduction to musical theatre is important.

If you have children, take them to see this show - they'll probably love it and you'll enjoy it. If not, there might be a better show to see, but if you want a fun night without heavy theatre, this is a very enjoyable show.

Grade: B-
