So Blondie and I went to see the Beauty and the Beast Musical last night!!!! http://www.beautyandthebeastontour.com/ I tried for MONTHS to get tickets and the only option was a half or whole season pass and I wasn't interested in any of the other shows. FINALLY they went on individual sale and I snagged them. I don't know who was more excited!
It was wonderful. It was just the two of us. A yummy dinner at Uncle Maddio's Pizza before we headed over to the Performing Arts Center. We were in the upper section with aisle seats and had a great view of the stage. It started at 7:30 and we got out of there at 10. There was a 20 minute intermission.
The actor who played Gaston, Christiaan Smith-Kotlarek, was fabulous!!!! He reminded me so much of the CM that we met in MK last year. Also Lumiere, Ryan N Phillips was wonderful. Belle was good, but I expected something closer to her "movie" voice and it kept throwing me off.
It very closely followed the movie with some "new" songs thrown in the mix.
I was VERY shocked at how risque Babette and Lumiere were (he smacked her on the butt at one point) I wasn't offended and Blondie giggled but you know how some people can be.
There were also a lot of girls (women) around my age with their daughters. The mom next to me was singing along and crying with me.
All in all it was a wonderful evening and a nice little bit of the world before next month!
I wish I had pics, the sets were beautiful!!! If you click on the link above, they also have an instagram, twitter and facebook page and you can see some of the pics.
