Pros: great set, great props, great special effects
Cons: a few scary parts for children
this was a wonderful broadway production, especially for introducing your children to culture. Most broadway productions are not really for children, and it's nice to be able to expose your children to culture whenever you can...especially in a day and...

Pros: wonderful special effects, fun songs and dance numbers
Cons: Loud noises, the beast at times can be scary
Beauty and the Beast is one of the most spectacular shows that I have ever seen. As a professional broadway actress, I view musical theater with a different eye than most other people. The lavish sets and costumes are a sheer delight to look at, you'll...

Pros: Great special effects, sets and costumes
Cons: Not the most stirring of musicals
The Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast was a far cry from the best musical I've ever seen, but it wasn't nearly the worst either. Adapted from the classic Disney animated version, the musical follows the plot closely, however there are some added...

Pros: Great Music and Special Effects
Cons: None
The beauty and the beast play was extremely good! It had great special effects that I am still racking my brain to figure out how they did some of them. The acting was great. It was a perfect play for the whole family. Grownups will have a blast...

Pros: great dancing, score, and acting
Cons: A few problems, singing could have used improvement
Unfortunately, my seats to this production were horrid. I *still* loved it though, even though I couldn't see it that well. The main part that sticks out in my mind was the amazing "Be Our Guest" dance number. The choreography was amazing!...

Pros: More music, excellent special effects
Cons: None
This is an incredible musical adaptation. While the Disney animated movie is one of my favorites, the stage version completely overshadows the movie. There are additional songs that I miss whenever I watch the movie, particularly the Beast's solo,...

Pros: Nicely staged, good special effects.
Cons: The bad guys are more entertaining than the good guys.
"Beauty and the Beast" is one of Disney's revamped fairy tales. Unlike "The Little Mermaid" this telling stays pretty true to the original tale, and moral. In the story by the Bothers Grimm, there is no Gaston or Lafou to add humor...

Pros: Gorgeous sets, terrific characters, good singing, super special effects.
Cons: Flat in choreography and overall impact, as compared with the movie.
It's hard not to compare this play to the movie that inspired it; I feel the movie version is one of the best musicals ever filmed, even if it is a cartoon.
Thus, even though this production is done on a fairly grand scale, it falls a bit...

Pros: Set design
Cons: Score
Beauty and The Beast is the 2nd Best Disney musical currently on Broadway. Basically, it is a word-on-word take-on-take clone of the movie. The technical design for the show was quite spectacular, but the score was mediocre and had corny lyrics which...

Pros: Family Show,
Cons: too long,
If you have seen the movie then you have seen the play. And I wish I hadn't seen the play, for I loved the movie and was disappointed.
I found the play to be drawn out, the music numbers were added to and way too long. Be Our Guest which was...

Pros: great music, funny, touching
Cons: none
Beauty and the Beast was an excellent show. It was my first Broadway show so I didn't know what to expect. I was amazed that the relatively small theater could have such incredible effects, with sight and sound. The show was well done and the music was...

Pros: Costumes and Music was excellent
Cons: Tickets are a lil expensive
My husband and I have wanted to see this show for quite some time and we finally did and we both loved it! The costumes were beautiful and the show was so nicely performed....It was a great show for both the young and the old...it was easy to follow and...

Pros: Bright and Flashy
Cons: Badly sung and acted, overdone
This was THE WORST Musical I have ever seen! Not only was it a far cry from the simple wonder of the movie, but the actors could have stepped out of Krusty's Clown School, not MSM or Julliard. The costume designer was obviously trying to make up for...

Pros: Fabulous for kids
Cons: There aren't really any
I went to see the Beauty and the Beast play in Chicago. It was my birthday present. Along with me was a 3 yr. old little girl who I used to babysit. I enjoyed it tremendously, but I mostly enjoyed seeing a 3 year old thoroughly enthrawled with the...

Pros: beautiful scenery and costumes, very true to the fairy tale
Cons: a bit too long and dull
Although Beauty and the Beast had beautiful
costumes and scenery, it was a bit too long, almost
three hours.
My favorite parts were the humorous parts
with the character Lumiere, who acted like Maurice
Chevalier,...
