'Beauty and the Beast' Music and Stagecraft | The Box Seat Babes Podcast

Beauty and the Beast kicked off Broadway in Detroit's most recent season at The Fisher Theatre, with a musical that brought the film to life! As life-long lovers of this story and the film from our childhood, it was nothing short of magical to see it play out before our eyes. However, how did Beauty and the Beast's music and technical aspects live up to our expectations? In this episode of the Box Seat Babes podcast, hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko talk about the music and stagecraft of the North American touring production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. While this Broadway musical features all the songs we know and love from the 1991 animated classic, it also includes original stage numbers— so which numbers stood out the most to the hosts? With updated staging and some changes to a few of the songs, what differences felt odd to the show, and which ones elevated the experience? Overall, was Beauty and the Beast an enchanting experience, or was it doomed to be forgotten like the Beast and his castle? Listen to this exciting episode to find out just what the Box Seat Babes thought of this tale as old as time!
