    Just imagine how much better the effects would be if this show was on broadway today!

    The Lumiere head at 8:38, I read that they decided not to use that after reviewing the play because they felt it hid too much of the actor's face. They felt the head where the candle is smaller was good enough because you can see his face and could tell his head was becoming a candle.
    That was another interesting thing about the musical. Instead of objects starting out completely as objects, they are people gradually turning into objects the longer the spell remains. In one scene Cogsworth and Lumiere are discussing how they're changing and will eventually become.... THINGS unless the master changes his ways. Cogsworth also mentions that he doesn't see why they had to get dragged into the spell when it was the master's fault and Lumiere says that they are responsible for helping making the master the way he is.

    Fun fact there was a 7th song added, called a change in me. This song was included before, Toni Braxton was casted as belle. 2 songs had a reprise, if I can't love her & is this home.

      It closed because at the time Disney was working on Little Mermaid and they didn’t want 2 Disney princesses on broadway at the same time because they thought it would cause competition between the shows. And they also had Lion king, Tarzan and Mary Poppins on broadway at the time so I guess they thought it wouldn’t hurt them financially to close it. And apparently from what I read they were supposed to bring it back the next year during the holiday season but it never ended up happening 😕 BIG mistake on their part for closing it and so disappointing because it’s one of my favorite musicals and my dream is to see it on Broadway 💕

    5:56 and 5:58 the test audiences should have deemed Babette too much similar to Belle and demanded her to have medium length blonde hair, deemed the white hair on Lumiere “TOO OLD” and recollect his hair to the Sandy hair from the original film (similar to what the audiences did to Michael Angelis when they deemed his voice for Percy too old (they were also hypocritical in by dismissing Angelis’s voice for James too old and have James’s voice too young and cast him with Susan Roman when they should have also deemed her voice “too gay and feminine”) John Belis for Thomas but made a screwup by removing PT Boomer, the original villain, that caused a lot of negative reviews by the critics and was a financial disaster.)
