When the theater in my area did Beauty and the Beast, in the line "I use antlers in all of my decorating", they slowly put their beer mugs up to their head like antlers and it was so funny. I was hoping they would do it in this version as well.
Really wish they'd given Lefou a more identifiable outfit. A performance that good deserves to be a spotlight, but it kind of faded in with all the other dudes :(
This is actually pretty amazing for being a small production! I just saw the real thing and this is really good compared! David made a fantastic LeFou, capturing his silliness and charm perfectly, and John makes a quite handsome Gaston! I'm very happy to now have a video to watch whenever I'm missing that amazing beer-mug-solo. (I was so surprised when I realized that it's not in the old OBC soundtrack!)
I guess they don't make them like they used to. Marc Kurdish and Earl Carpenter would find this funny. The guy fits the part voice and all but, wish they put more light on the stage. I know taverns are dim but come on.
Is this a live band? Because they could have used more rehearsal. Set up your orchestra for success!!!! Why take tempos so fast that you cant get the intricacy correct? I've done the show 3 times. As a Music director I'd freak out!
