Just came back from Beauty and the Beast....

.....and it is soooooooo wonderful! The actress playing Belle was practically perfect! She was so beautiful, and she sang wonderfully. I couldn't take my eyes off her, she was that lovely. I got a little teary when she sang "Home" and "A Change in Me".

The other actors were good too. The lady playing the feather duster sure looked like Paige Davis though.

The actor playing the Beast was all right, but I was expecting more from him. Same with the fellow playing Gaston.

The transformation scene at the end was quite uncanny. How do they do that?

All in all, it was so lovely. And I got to see a real live Belle for the first time since 1996. I'm so happy I could cry.....Belle is so lovely to look at. Now all I can think of is her. I really want to see her at WDW again.

P.S. AngieBelle, I was thinking of you when I watched Jennifer Schrader on stage as Belle. I can just envision you on stage as Belle. I still hope your dream comes true.

I am sooooooo jealous.
Glad you had a great time!

I should add that when I said that Jennifer Schrader was a perfect Belle, I was thinking of Susan Egan. I thought Jennifer had a singing voice just like Susan's, and her appearence reminded me of Susan too.

The Beast was played by Roger Befeler. I said in a previous post that he is married to Kim Huber, who has played Belle in the past. I thought Roger was fairly good as the Beast.
