Beauty & the Beast @ Disney Studios

[SteveInOmaha]

We've seen this show once and decided it was enough. The reason . . . all the dialogue was lip-synched. The cast moved their lips, but definitely weren't speaking/singing. I understand it's now in an enclosed theater and thought possibly they might be using live dialogue. Can anyone confirm/deny?

To contrast, back in the day, our favorite live show in all of Disney World was the Hunchback of Notre Dame at Disney Studios. ALL live, amazing cast & production. Does anyone else remember this gem?

As far as I know this show has never changed, including the venue.

Pretty sure the show has been in the exact same location since my first trip in 1999.

1. No, not "all" is lip-synced.
Belle and Gaston are speaking and singing live to a recorded orchestra track.
We go see the "Beauty and the Beast: LIVE" show multiple times per trip with the specific purpose of seeing the various different actors who are performing those two roles. They can vary quite a bit, and some are wonderful to watch and hear.
(Same is true with the 3-4 principle host/actors at "Festival of the Lion King" in DAK.)
2. No new theater.
3. Yes. Agree it was great.
