CAST:
Susan Egan (Belle), James Barbour (Beast/Prince), Tom Bosley (Maurice), Burke Moses (Gaston), Gary Beach (Lumière), Beth Fowler (Mrs. Potts)
NOTES:
For the time period that it was filmed, It's great. Sound and picture synch up and Gary Beach kills it as Lumiere. Susan Egan is wonderful.

Beauty and the Beast (Disney) - Broadway - July 27, 2007

NOTES: Two days before the show closed on Broadway. Good amount of closeups and good quality filmed from the mid-mezzanine; there is a railing issue for a while in Act 1 but the taper improves. 'Me', 'Gaston' and 'Be Our Guest' are all predominantly missing and recording stopped for some time after 'Gaston', which created a little jump in the timeline to where Maurice gets thrown out of the tavern. Still a nice video with great closeups of the last Broadway cast.

NOTES:
The first one is closer and includes almost the whole show but the recording is lower quality and the camera is shaky. Still, I don't think it's a bad boot if I say so myself! The video starts around 3 mins in (after the announcement) so don't be alarmed if there's a black screen at first.

NOTES:
The second one is higher quality but has some significant blackouts. It's farther away and still a little bit shaky but I think the wide angle gives a great sense of what the whole set looks like. It's a good recording but missing about ~15 mins of the show overall. The video starts around 5 minutes in on the first act and 10 minutes in on the second. Sorry, I was having camera troubles.

NOTES:
Act 1 only! Nice 4K capture of Grace as Belle. Questionable quality for the first 10 minutes, but improves after and is generally shot well with fairly minimal wandering and obstructions. I accidentally stopped recording twice, but it misses less than 2 minutes of footage overall.

NOTES:
Great wide-shot phone boot of this incredible production from Olney Theatre. A few scenes are a little dark, and tiny bit is missed only on the far right side of the stage (nothing more than about 20 seconds). This cast is absolute fire, and deserves all the accolades and attention they've gotten from national publications. The inclusion of a large, Black woman playing Belle and having a Beast played by a man with a pegleg without caricature is truly inspiring. The set and costumes are so imaginative and every minute of this show is just a joy. Includes Video, Audio (tracked by MissCeliesPants and untracked), and digital program.
