    True since Howard Ashman(R.I.P.), the executive producer was a Broadway producer. He put the feeling of Broadway into "Beauty and the Beast", "The Little Mermaid", and "Aladdin". He was on the verge of becoming the next Walt Disney and then just when "Beauty and the Beast" is nearing completion and "Aladdin" is still in the making, Howard dies from AIDS. He would've loved to have produced this and would've been so proud of it. I'm sure they worked hard on to make it successful for Howard's sake.

    20 years ago this month! And most people on Broadway at the time thought it wouldn't even run one year-but it ran 13 years on Broadway!

      Unfortunately I doubt they will due to the changes the movies made and because it's probably the only version younger viewers have seen so the will probably leave disappointed.

    They said that since of course on Broadway they can't make the actors smaller to be objects, they came up with the idea of the servants slowly becoming objects as time passes. When doing, "Human Again," they really look like they're close to becoming FULL objects. Look at Lumiere, Cogsworth and Babette. I remember at one scene Lumiere says to Cogsworth that they will eventually become... THINGS! Even mentions that the spell is progressing slower on them than on others who have already become things. Although, I heard they decided not to have Lumiere's head look that advanced because it basically hid the actor's face but very believable, I must say. They even originally wanted Lumiere's head to light up like his hands.

    I wouldn't doubt that Robby Benson's son, Zephyr, has similarities in his voice. But it is GREAT that Robby Benson wants to keep his family life really hush hush. I don't blame him, because anything that involves his family is ABSOLUTELY NONE of OUR BUSINESS!!!

    The cast and crew of this play say that it was hard to keep up and stay on schedule. Well, when you think about how long it took Disney to FINALLY make it's own version of "Beauty and the Beast", I think the cast and crew were all moving pretty fast.
    Walt Disney wanted to make his own version of "Beauty and the Beast" back in 1937 right after making "Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs", but he could never figure it out. It took the talents of Howard Ashman and Alan Mankin to accomplish such a task.

  • @pytko3
    @pytko3 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @phantom4evr101 Actually it's been brought back to Broadway and is on tour. I recently saw it and liked it! They say it's been downgraded a little mainly in sets and costumes, they aren't as detailed. The original sets and costumes were disposed of when the show closed in 2007. To remake all that detailed stuff would be expensive and in this economy expensive is not a good word. I'm just happy it's back! I enjoyed it!
    P.S. If money gets better maybe they'll be able to add more to it.

    List of prosthetic/headpiece/mechanical items John Dods made for the show: Chip Animatronic Head, Madame de la Grande Bouche Headpiece, Cogsworth Headpiece, Beast Prosthetics and Headpiece, and Mask.

    • @ProfessorStuDDS
      @ProfessorStuDDS 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah quick question how do they do the whole teacart illusion with Chip? When was an animatronic head used and when was it the real actor playing Chip???

    • @TheTeslaFilms
      @TheTeslaFilms 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Broadwaypuppet The animatronic "head on a platter" was only used for the scene, when Chip tells Mrs. Potts that there is a girl in the castle. The rest is the real actor. The illusion is done on Broadway by a mirror in the cart and the curved X pattern on the front to make it seem hollow. DIY: Make a mold of your actors head (look for tutorials), sculpt a replica of the headpiece on (be sure to sculpt in open eyes and mouth). Then, cover it in layers of liquid latex, paint it with acrylic, and cut a hole in the side. Then, glue it to a platter.

    @AStarAlmost 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's almost hard to believe that I was 2 when the movie came out, and the play came out on Broadway, when I was 5!!! (makes low whistle) I personally think that there's so much more ACTION and emotion in the play. Sorry, I just think that the play is so much more LIFE in the play. I mean don't get me wrong, the movies got it, too. I just think that the play has A LOT more explanations to it. Sorry. I actually honestly ADORE both.

    If you mean as in temperature wise, you're right. Terrance Mann(the beast said) it was like wearing 3 winter coats while running around the block. It took about an hour and a half to get that whole beast thing on him but it only took about 7 minutes for him to get it all off. Mainly because he practically tore it off fast without hesitation, I know I would! HAHA!
    Part of being an actor is having to put up with uncomfortable make up and wardrobe, but as they say,"That's show business."

    • @TheTeslaFilms
      @TheTeslaFilms 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The bootlegs are usually far away, and they did make a lot of changes to the show, especially the complexity of the Beast's makeup, though I saw a videotape of a 1999 performance w/Andrea McArdle (Part of Lincoln Centers Archives in NYC), and saw a change. First, his headpiece looks more like human hair, but with a wick. Later (more like act 2), it is a bit thinner and taller, with wax dripping around the wick. The changes could also be explained if this video documents the Texas premiere, where according to Terrance Mann (Beast), the makeup was changed for Broadway at his request.

      @gavi3 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Djizzle96 during the castle battle while the objects are fighting, the Beast is backstage taking off the makeup and puts on a Beast mask that can easily come off that doesn’t look as real but he’s only on stage in it for a couple minutes. During the transformation, he then pulls off of the mask and tucks in in the blanket that he gets covered in.
