If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
Booked the show for my girlfriend who's favorite Disney movie is Beauty and The Beast. She's never seen it on Broadway. I'm personally not a fan of Broadway or musicals in general but seeing her face light up and being actually entertained myself was worth the "discomfort". The cast killed it throughout the entire show. Funny, sad, entertaining, etc.
The actors truly brought to life the story, and the choreographer truly worked with the cast a lot on all the routines! It was well worth every penny and very well thought out and done.
Beauty and the Beast had extraordinary costumes and brilliant choreography. The show did not disappoint.
It was wonderful. It lived up to the book when mom read it back in the 50s
I've seen Broadway in New York and the quality of this show was just as good if not better. The performances were excellent and the sets were spectacular. I can understand why it was a challenge getting tickets. I look forward to seeing other performances in Chicago.
Everything was great--music, scenery, costumes. And the actors did a marvelous job.
From the start to the end this musical was fantastic. The actors, music, singing, humor, and Staging was amazing.
The presentation was memorable with traditional and unique adaptations from the film. The actors were talented. The costumes were fabulous. Just a great show
Beauty and the Beast by far one of the best performances I've ever seen! The actress that played Belle was extraordinary! Note to parents of very young children, wait until they are at least 8 years old so they can appreciate a non-animated performance.
Enjoyable show. Good for any age. It's felt a little long in places but the music was great.
This was a wonderful production! It is too bad that this show has such a short run.
The show was delightful. We saw this I believe 7 to 8 years ago in Chicago, and it was just as much fun the second time. As a matter of fact, Beast was a real plus in this show. Wonderful job. Beauty and the Beast is in my top 5 of a very long list of favorite Disney films, and it touches me in a very personal level. Loved it!!
Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies and the Broadway version did not disappoint! Caught myself singing along to the songs, laughed out loud, and loved how the actors were so similar to the movie characters. Lumiere and Gaston were especially spot on! Loved the overall experience and would definitely recommend it.
Wonderful performance! Definitely a must see for any Disney fans!
Call it high expectations (this is my favorite Disney film) but I had a few issues with the execution and experience of seeing the show. For one thing, tickets were expensive for this thing - $60 for Upper Balcony, next to chatty high-schoolers and parents with little girls in Belle costumes who couldn't sit still. 10 minutes into the show, I got up to watch the first act from the usher's aisle to give myself space to breathe and move around a little (seats are claustrophobically close up there!). The show itself had its magical moments (Be Our Guest a true show-stopper) but if you're expecting high-quality theatrical effects, you'll be disappointed. This show's set pieces, costumes and lighting effects come straight from the 90s. Parts of the set looked like they were made of cardboard. Gaston's pub chair looked like it could break in half easily. The object costumes were way too cheesy and poor Chip was moved around on a cart with his head sticking out (why couldn't he walk around like the other objects?) Beast's transformation involved a magic-trick elevation effect, but I was expecting something alongside Cirque du Soleil, not the actor just laying flat, stiff as a board. Actors were great, everyone was super talented, but again they just had to deal with very out-dated material. Compared to The Lion King, this show needs to get with the times and use more of an intriguing set-up for costume and stage design for people watching way up in the balcony.
The musical was very good, the leads have great singing talent. There were several humorous scenes- the Beast was great at throwing a temper tantrum. There was even a slight adult edge to the musical, with drinking and slight innuendo.
My family and I had a wonderful time ! One of the best performances I have ever witnessed!
The show was incredible!!! We had 1st row seats, which were amazing. I have been to this Theater before and there is not a bad seat, but we were the closest I have ever been. The performers were amazing, and the orcastra, WoW! This was one of my Daughters favorite movies, so needless to say, we watched it several times a day when she was young. She now is 27, so to see it with her was priceless. You can't go wrong. It will be a night to remember.
What a good show. I liked that they added humor for the adults but also kept things very child friendly. I laughed alot and had a great time.
I liked Be Our Guest. I liked If I Can't Love Her. I liked Cogsworth. I liked Lumiere. I liked Jillian's singing voice. I liked when the Beast was going around in circles. I liked when the Beast was laying on his back. I liked Mrs. Potts. I liked when Belle and the Beast were dancing. I like when the Beast was going upside down. I liked Gaston's singing voice.
