Beauty and The Beast (Chicago) Tickets

First I would like to say that I took my grand daughter to the play and she loved it. I however found the staging, costumes and overall experience fair at best. By the cost of the tickets I expected a lot more. I will say that I thought Bell was great! The production Disney puts on at Disney World in Florida is much better even though they lip sinc the staging and the costumes are much more appealing. I was thinking about buying Lion King tickets but now have doubts. I really don't want to spend that kind of money and have a High School production experience. I guess that sums up my take on Beauty and the Beast... a high school production at best!

I would recommend this to everyone! Beauty and the beast is my favorite Disney movie so I already had high expectations but it was THE BEST I've ever seen. I was instantly transformed to when I was a child. I didn't want it to end. The cast did a great job. I loved how funny Gaston and Lumiere were.

The tale as old as time comes to life on stage in the traveling Broadway edition of the show. Absolutely magical. Some differences from the movie you are used to, but absolutely perfect on stage. Gaston was amazing. He remains the villain you can't help but like. Lumiere and Babette simply steal the show. They are absolutely adorable, and my girlfriend and I still make references to their lines. The costuming was fantastic. It's not easy to make inanimate objects come to life on stage. The music was superb. The venue is absolutely great. We were toward the back of the theatre, but the view was just as good there as anywhere. Highly recommend any show at the Palace, and any show which Disney brings to town.

I guess I should have read more closely. While the show was well done (great job, performers!), it was missing that Broadway "pop." Two numbers (Mason De Loon, and No Matter What) were cut, and the beast failed to be particularly menacing by means of costuming (but a great performer!).. Loved the bar number (Gaston) - they did fun choreography with beer mugs, and I was impressed by the carpet's acrobatics in Be Our Guest. Also Lumiere was hilarious! ... Overall, I would say this was on par with an excellent University production. had I been expecting that (as opposed to Broadway), I would have been absolutely satisfied.

My 4 year old granddaughter was enthralled. The performance also kept the attention of adults. Since my review of the seats doesn't seem to be included, I'm going to say here that they were horrible. Definitely obstructed view. The weight of a 4 year old could not keep the seat in the down position.

Loved the show. The actors were great, especially Lumiere (spelling?). My only complaint is the use of curtains that border the sides and top of the stage. It narrows the stage severely. I was in the left orchestra... 5 seats from the center aisle and my view was obscured. In other productions, this seat is fine.

This play was NOT even close to Disney's standards. I've seen several Disney plays, and they've all been astonishing, except for this one. This one, I have to say, was so below my expectations. The only character that I can say that really played his role well and had the voice for it was Gaston. All the others, can't say they nailed it. You'd think they'll be extremely selective with Belle's character, but apparently that wasn't the case. They tried (too hard) to bring Beast's role to a more playful and funny character and failed miserably. They took too many liberties, came up with new songs -that were not very good- and the Lumiere character -who was supposed to be the great character- over did his role to a point where it became a bit raunchy (supposed to be a Casanova, but ended up looking like a pervert). Even some costumes were not the best choice for what you'd expect to be a children-focused play. Sad to say, but this is the very first play where I was just hoping for it to end... Tacky, cheesy, and even a tad raunchy. I didn't like it from the start, and I kept wishing that they'd turn it around sometime, maybe after the intermission, but no luck. The "special effects" were unimaginative and dull. Really nothing stood out in this play.

I took the Mrs. and another couple and it was charming. Even though you know the outcome, the cast and the performance was first rate. Belle, Gaston and the Candleholder stood out even more impressively. I missed seeing the play on the first go round, and was glad I caught this time. The Cadillac Place's performances have been terrific.

My husband and I knew we were in for a treat at the Saturday Matinee- we had no idea that it would be so much fun! This performance of Beauty and the Beast was SO much better than the recording. The singing was superb! The excitement was great- you could tell the actors and actresses were not only performing to high standards in their art but also having a lot of fun. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it to anyone.

First time seeing the play version and it did not disapppoint. It was difficult to match the movie and best that the play forged its on way with outstanding actors and singers. We will see again when it comes to Columbus.

It wasn't Disney per we but some theater group presenting Disney. My kids and I have seen lots of Disney plays, been to disney world 6 times and Disney land once. This play was boring. First off Cadillac palace staff are rude. Me and other guests agreed. The stage show sets were boring and minimal. They used same props over and over throughout each scene. And they did not make use of the whole stage but stayed mostly in front. Kids and I were very disappointed. Daughter 14 son 13 and like I said we've had lots to compare so we know. I thought it was going to be an extension of the beauty and the beast state show I saw in Disney. We were also there the last year disney stopped doing it in the theme park. None of the characters were like the script. The beast was short and kept reminding my kids of the cowardly lion in the wizard of oz. save your money. And I will be more careful to make sure disney is performing. But I will not go back to Cadillac palace.

For my first Broadway show this show was amazing! I took my best friend for her birthday to go see this and beauty and the beast is her all time favorite disney movie. We sat fourth row in the middle and it was well worth it. You see everything!! It was just spectacular!! I would go see more Broadway shows!!!

Top Notch Production of this Disney Classic! The acting and singing was amazing.

It is always fun to watch a stage production with a child. The child with us was so focused on the play. She was engrossed with the play. The adults enjoyed seeing the musical.

Loved the play. Really enjoyed the extra songs and added humor. The actors were extremely talented. Wonderful!

Loved Beauty and the Beast! Lots of fun and nice music!!

Amazing show! Took my 8 year old daughter and 5 year old niece and they loved every minute of it! Hope Beauty and the Beast returns... I would love to see it again!!

Had such a great experience seeing Beauty and the Beast! It was my first time seeing a show in the Orchestra. Definitely worth it. The music was beautiful. The costumes were on point and the set was fantastic.

The musical was a great rendition of the Disney's favorite Beauty and the Beast. It was very entertaining for both the young ones and the young at heart. To see my little girl's smiles and expressions was just priceless.

While the current ensemble did a commendable job, they did not perform to the same level as those that have come before. There were tweaks to the story with new songs and the overall emphasis leaned towards more of a comedic nature than I'd like. Some of the songs felt like filler for scene transitions.
