Our daughter is a princess FREAK - so we were there about 20 minutes early to get a front row seat this past Feb. I was holding DS2, DD4 was next to me, then my wife. They pick people from the audience to come participate, and she was looking for someone to be Beast. She looked in my direction and said 'you'll do just fine' - and all I could think is - how is my two year old son going to undertsand how to play the beast?!?! Then I realized (slow on the uptake) that she meant ME! It was really cute and the wife and kids got a kick out of seeing dad dance with Belle... o.k., dad got a kick out of that too!
Also - Belle stayed around for autographs after our show. I think it's a union thing. If they've got time, they stay. If not, they don't.
We're soooo excited to go back. Our trip was originally scheduled Nov 20 - Dec 3, but I'm so pumped about it that I decided to go down Nov 16 and squeeze in some more magic!
