Yet another great musical !! Very satisfied!!! Will go again if possible but defitinetely recommend it to others to watch.
Having gone to the original Beauty and the Beast production in 1995 at the Schubert Theater and a Networks production at the Pantages in 2011, this was the best. The acting was very sincere and believeable bringing you right into the emotions and plot of the story from the beginning. In some of Networks past productions the acting was overexagerated and some of the actors, though very talented, did not effectively incarnate their character's depth of spirit for which the animated feature is so unique. This group of actors embodied the spirit of the original animated characters so well it was lengendary and a privilage to see. Hilary Maiberger is Belle if ever there was one as well as Darick Pead, the Beast, and all the other actors with their characters. The sets had so much artistic detail, though not like the original broadway in scale, really brought out the idea of beauty within. If ever you see Beauty and the Beast by Networks, the show with Hilary Maiberger, Darick Pead and the rest of the gang is THE highly recommended version to see! You cannot be disappointed but only mesmerized.
The sshow was excellent. My 4 year was captivated and hasn't stopped talking about the show!
For a broadway musical, I thought there would not be lip syncing.... overall, they did a good job, but I would not expect lip syncing
Beauty and the Beast was FANTASTIC! I had my 7 year old daughter and my 93 year old grandmother with. They both LOVED IT as did I. The sound effects, costumes, and the sets were outstanding. Absolutely loved it.
A very exceptional play. Beautiful, Loved every minute of it. The singing and acting were also exceptional.
Absolutely superb performances by the whole cast. Personal favorites: Gaston, his sidekick, Mrs. Potts and Chip, The Candle and of course Belle and the Beast! This was a Christmas gift for the girls in the family ages 6 to 75! We all loved it and had a wonderful time. We would definitely go again, however would highly recommend staggered seating. 3 of our 6 couldn't see the production for half of the play. People in front and behind us had the same trouble seeing. Staggering the seats would help this problem since we don't have a graduated floor at the La Crosse Center. Can't wait to attend another Broadway production!
Worth seeing again. Great set design, costumes, music/dance, performers. Very entertaining.
Great acting and singing. It would be nice if the show started earlier then 7:30 ofr the kids that attended. My only complaint is the seats were very uncomfortable.
The music was beautiful and the singers were amazing - the main characters and the ensemble cast. I took my 3 year old as she loves the movie and all princess things. Was enthralled during the musical numbers but a little antsy during speaking parts - but that is a 3 year old for you. Would have been nice to start a little earlier for the youngsters but we both still had a great time.
I took my 4 year old niece and we both loved it!! It is a great show for all ages and it is so vivid, color wise. The singing and dancing ability of the performers was world class- no need to go to New York when something this good comes to you!
Great acting and fantastic singing. What a joy. I sat 12 rows back and it WAS TOO LOUD! Not sure what other parts of the Center was like! Maybe the guy on the sound board should walk up and see how loud it is in the front!
Amazing! So exciting to see such incredible talent. I could watch Beauty and the Beast over and over again. Bravo!
Beauty and the Beast was wonderful!!! One of the best musicals I have seen!
Although I have seen more lavish productions of the Beauty and the Beast musical, this one still has enough magic and warmth to stir the heart. Wonderful voices and creative staging kept even my 3yo son engaged throughout. Great show!
It was a very entertaining event! Will do it again in a heart beat.
This show was awesome. The cast was fantastic and the scenery and costumes were superb.
What an incredible event to be able to take my kids to! I was definately not disappointed; the cast and pit band were spot on the entire time, and I felt like I was at a Broadway show in my little town.
Disney's Beauty and the Beast was a very well done production. The special effects and set work were incredible.
