Disney Beauty and the Beast – The Musical @ Sutherland Entertainment Centre

Miranda Musical Society presents “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast”, the smash hit Broadway musical. Superb production of the Disney musical intended for the entire family, based on the 1991 Academy Award winning Disney animated feature film, as adapted from the French fairy tale by Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont.                         

Absolutely classic love story, set to memorable music and well-remembered lyrics, a dozen brilliant lavish sets, and everyone wearing glorious spectacular costumes, with dazzling choreography from the ensemble cast and leads. Music from award winning artists, Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice.

Hannah Garbo as Belle has a very elegant vocal palette to work with. “A Change in Me” clearly displayed the depth of her voice talent, and her acting provided the correct balance exactly when needed, with both the Beast and with Gaston.

The many well-remembered songs, and many are now classics, are all beautifully sung by a superb cast, and include “If I Can’t Love Her“, “Beauty And The Beast” and “Be Our Guest”.

Tracey Blankenship’s cleverly delicious and always quite complicated choreography allows those members of the ensemble with special skills in this area to shine, while all in the ensemble cast do co-ordinate very well at all times.

All the dances, songs and music are all brought smoothly together by musical director Valerie Hulls producing captivating live theatre entertainment. Yes truly wonderful entertainment, that will be long remembered. Recommended.
