What To Know About This Production

The Award-winning animated film and stage play comes to life in this romantic and beloved take on the classic fairytale.

Based on the original Broadway production that ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, and the Academy Award-winning motion picture, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. is a fantastic adaptation of the story of transformation and tolerance. Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. features some of the most popular songs ever written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice.

The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

We will also be hosting a Beauty & the Beast Kinder-5th Grade Workshop:

Characters

  • Beast - The Beast is a young prince who was hideously transformed by the Enchantress spell Casting for size is not as important as choosing a student who can handle this complex character a dictator, a hurt child, a hero, a defender and a smitten prince Cast an actor who can deliver a range of conflicting emotional states Although the Beast does sing a small bit during Something There and the Finale, this is truly an acting role
  • Belle - Belle is a smart, confident young woman from a small village You will want a strong singer and actress who is able to stand up to Gaston while showing compassion for Maurice, the Servants and eventually the Beast
  • Gaston - Gaston is pompous and dim-wittedharacter and will do whatever it takes to win Belles hand Gaston has all the confidence in the world but lacks the humility to balance it Finding a strong singer and actor is more important than physical size and stature for this role He has to be able to sell his big eponymous number with gusto and arrogance as well as lead the Villagers in The Mob Song
  • Mrs Potts - Mrs Potts is the castle s endearing cook who is becoming a teapot The actor you cast needs a strong, sweet voice and should be able to convey comforting, maternal qualities amidst the chaos that is breaking out in the castle Look for a student who can play a loving mother figure to all the characters
  • Lumiere - Lumiere is a confident, charming French mitre d who (under the enchantresss spell) is becoming a candelabra He has an incessant bickering rapport with CogswortLumiere should be a strong singer who can light up the stage in Be Our Guest If you have a student who can handle the French accent, fantastic This role covers a range of emotions (from charming entertainer to brave soldier) and requires prominent song and dance, so try to cast a strong, versatile performer
  • Cogsworth - Cogsworth is the British major-domo of the castle who is becoming a clock Like all of the castle s Servants, he shows a fatherly compassion for Belle yet is perfectly submissive to the master, the Beast Cogsworth enjoys feeling like the boss and has no problem getting into it with Lumiere Cast a strong actor and singer who can act in charge
  • Chip - Chip is Mrs Potts s son who is becoming a teacup You may cast a younger student for this role, but it is not imperative Chip has a wonderful navet that endears him to all of the Servants Cast an actor who can portray the honesty and spirit of a child and is comfortable trying to sing Chip s few solo lines
  • Madame De La Grande Bouche - Madame De La Grande Bouche is an opera singer who is becoming a wardrobe Madame is larger-than-life in everything she does, including her singing and dancing Look for that student who can portray the ultimate diva with a heart with an outsized personality and voice Madame has some harmony lines with Mrs Potts and Babette, so cast a singer who can hold her own but knows when to pull back in order to sound good with the others
  • Babette - Babette is the maid of the castle who is turning into a feather duster She misses the finer things in life Babette is happy to be at Belle s service at a moment s notice, but her true heart comes through in Human Again Look for a good actor with solid vocal skills to handle Babettes harmonies
  • Narrators - The Narrators provide great opportunities to involve students who are more comfortable speaking than singing The script is written to feature multiple NarratorsThese students need to be able to enunciate and project, as they guide the focus and pace of this beautiful tale These roles are non-singing
  • Old Beggar Woman(Enchantress) - The Old Beggar WomanEnchantress should be portrayed by an actor with a flair for the visually dramatic as this is a non-speaking role Her transformation in the Prologue needs to entice the audience into the story
  • Maurice - Maurice is an aging and eccentric inventor, but more importantly, the adoring and protective father of Belle This non-solo singing role is perfect for the student who can have fun interpreting this crazy old man while conveying some very strong emotions fear and fatherly love
  • Lefou - Lefou is Gastons equally dim-witted lackey This character needs to be Gastons foil and should double the laughs for them both
  • Les Filles De La Ville - Les Filles De La Ville are in love with Gaston and will do almost anything just to be near him Look for a group of girls who can portray the comic nature of these roles and enjoy playing off each other
  • Monsieur DArque - Monsieur DArque is a sinister townsman who works for Gaston Cast an actor who can believably exude his sinister personality Although Monsieur DArque has few lines of solo singing in The Mob Song, this is primarily a non-singing role
  • Servants - The Servants of the castle can include Statues, a Dust Pan, Flatware, Plates, an Egg Timer, Napkins, a Carpet, Salt Pepper Shakers, etc These enchanted characters are the Rockettes of the castle They should be able to handle a potentially awkward costume while singing and dancing in two big production numbers
  • Villagers - The Villagers are the inhabitants of Belle s town There are some featured solos and lines that will come from this ensemble (Bookseller, Baker, etc) The group must provide vocal power throughout the show and dance in the production numbers
