Spend the extra money and see it on Broadway
by JAKelly88 on 3/15/14St. George Theatre - Staten IslandI took my girlfriend to see this since her favorite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast. Little did I know that this play had nothing to do with Beauty and the Beast. It had the same name, but a completely different story. They didn't sing any of the songs from the movie, nor were any characters from the movie. There were only 5 very poor actors in this play, one of which messed up his lines and stumbled over his words quite a few times. The main woman in the play wasn't even Belle. Belle instead was replaced by a woman named Beauty. There were only maybe 4 or 5 props for the whole play, and don't even get me started on the Beast costume. Do yourself a favor and never ever see this. I hope this production gets shut down very soon. At the intermission, I had to use the bathroom and I was so embarrassed that I almost couldn't go back to my seat to face my girlfriend. All we did the entire ride home is talk about all the things wrong with this play. I can't wait to take her to see the show on Broadway now.
