Beauty and the Beast

Last night the theatre came alive with the magic of Disney. This was an Am Dram version, but believe me, it was of such high standard you would have thought you were on Broadway watching it.

The cast were amazing from the enchanted chandelier to the wire work of the enchantress. It was spell binding. Little faces were taken with Belle, laughed at Gaston and Lefou.   Fell for Cogsworth and Lumiere, who got the best laughs plus the biggest cheer at the end.

I remember seeing this in NYC in the 90's and believe me not one thing was left out. The ensemble, pit singers and orchestra set the scene from the very start.

These are people who give up their nights and weekends to rehearse. They only had just over two months to put it together. Well they should be very proud, they did themselves and Disney proud.

Just wonderful!
