WOW ive always wanted to see the finale with Debbie Gibson on this but i had no idea she was one of the few actresses who did Belle just before the production moved to the Lunt Fontane theatre
The three Deborah Gibson sequences are taken from a half-hour reel of raw footage (one camera only) taken when Gibson took over as Belle. The raw footage was made into a four-minute press reel.
Misogynist? Please, I think they did this because they wanted to give more prominence to Beast in the musical, not to be called macho or misogynist. That would not come from a musical that has someone like Belle. I think they should have done it like Wicked or Frozen, where the two protagonists receive the applause together.
I’ve seen several community theatre, high school and regional productions of Beauty and the Beast all over San Diego & Los Angeles and EVERY TIME Belle is always the final bow OR she and the Beast bow together
I used to have a crush on him in high school. I forgot about him, but then I rediscovered him around Christmas time of 2020 and I've been searching for anything he's been in, like I did in high school.
