It draws you in and makes you a part of the scene. I enjoyed this because it is filled with drama, thrills, romance and some action. The rose is symbolic with its blue, gloomy background and the transformation is great. Will the rose be back with love or sadness? \u00a0This musical touched my heart because of its message &#8211; you should treat people the way you want to be treated. The director, Rob Roth takes you through turns and twists but the outcome is grand. I appreciated this musical because it is hilarious and interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The beast (Sam Hartley) is a prince who is spoiled, selfish and lonely. When the spell is cast upon him he becomes a mean man. Belle\u2019s father goes into the forest trying to attend the inventor\u2019s competition and gets lost in the forest. The wolves try to eat him but he stumbles upon a castle where the servants let him in. The beast are very cruel to Belle\u2019s father and put him in the dungeon. Belle (Brooke Quintana) tracks down her father to the horrible beast castle and he agrees to let her father go if she will take his place as a hostage. What an amazing thing to do? Will he kill her or let her survive? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The beast costume is gothic and eerie.\u00a0 The townspeople and servant costumes are illuminating with bright colors that captivate you. The lighting design by Natasha Katz excels in every scene. The set designs by Stanley A. Meyer are mysterious, colorful and gloomy. The music by Kevin Francis Finn is truly breathtaking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The message of the musical is to treat people fairly and, if you can help someone, extend that extra hand and you will be blessed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">My favorite scene is when the beast turns into a human and floats above the stage and transforms into a young man. This is fantastic! You will not believe it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">I recommend this play for ages 8 to 18 and I give it 5 out of 5 Stars because it is full of excitement. I really enjoyed it and you will too, so put this astonishing musical on your todo list.\u00a0 You will not be disappointed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disney\u2019s Beauty and the Beast features the animated film\u2019s Academy Award\u00ae-winning score with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by the late Howard Ashman, with additional songs with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice.
