Did anyone hear that the girl, Christy Romano, who used ot be on Even Stevens is gonna be the new Belle? Maybe its just me, but it seems really odd.

damn, she's cool.

not necesarilly odd because she has a very "broadway-like" voice... but isn't she rather young?

They did a musical episode of Even Stevens one time (I remember because I watched it due to the fact that Lauren Frost was on it, and she played young Barbra Streisand in her last concert). Anyway, Christy Romano has a very good (Broadway) singing voice.
Plus, Jeff McCarthy is playing the Beast! I love him...though That is a huge age gap between him and Christy.
I've seen Beauty and the Beast twice already; but I will definitely have to catch Jeff in the role.

As always, Disney puts someone in Disney related for their Broadway shows. We're just lucky it's not Hilary Duff, who has pretty mediocre singing and acting talent. Plus, no one wants a blonde Belle. Christy will do very well with the role, but no one can outdo Susan Egan who also played Meg on Hercules.

I caught Christy Carlson Romano in Beauty and the Beast in late May, she's got a lot of stage presence, but she definatly belongs back on TELEVISION.....She struggled A LOT with her singing and her acting was filled with too many gestures aka (OVERACTRESS). But she does look cute in the belle wig and costume and she does play very well to the audience and with the cast as well.......but I think a short run will be just enough to add to the resume....I'm curious though.....how long do you all think B&TB will run????

My dance instructor went with her daughter to see it a week after i was in NY and she absolutely hated it. I haven't seen it yet, but, i'm not sure i want to. Everyone that I've talked to has said that she Overracted and stuggled with her voice and it wasn't worth going. So there's my two "sense"

Well OVERALL I would say it was a great production, I had the honor to see the Lion King too when I was up there a couple weeks ago, and between the two disney shows i saw, i liked beauty and the beast better.....I would definatly go see it if you haven't it is an amazing stage version and much funnier than the movie........but in short terms......you like the movie, you'll love the stage version...go see it.......go see a broadway show!!!

I've seen a broadway show. Actually I've seen many. I didn't like Lion King to tell you the truth. And I'm not quite fond of the movie Beauty and The Beast. It just wouldn't be my first, or second, or third, or even tenth choice to see on broadway.

Where is it showing? And will it be showing in March? What's it about? I haven't seen any "plays" on broadway - only musicals.
