Music reviews of Disney's Beauty and the Beast: The Broadway Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Music Review: a brilliant extension for a brilliant film
Rating: 5 Stars
Let me begin by saying that i love beauty and the beast. the original soundtrack is one of my alltime favorites. its an amazing score with great songs and a nearly flawless cast. the songs are all so broadway-esque that this broadway show was just a natural move. so how does it live up to the brilliance of the original? well surprisingly it does so quite well.
I was actually prtty apprehensive at first. i mean there's no paig o'hara, robby benson, angela lansburry or jerry orbach. now as i write about this, i think how great that would rlly be, but at any rate i was skeptical. but for 10 bucks off amazon, i thought "ehh, what the heck." i was very pleasently surprised.
PERFORMERS
first up is the cast, i'll admit that they can't rlly hold a candle to that original cast from the film, but they all still do a great job of creating their own characters with separate identities from the film that work very well. Terrance mann's beast is very emotional and moving. susan egan's belle is good, but the only downfall is that she's not paige o'hara, but i can't stress how good she trully is at the part. the rest of the cast all favor quite well. the most important thing to remember is that this is NOT the movie; it is a seperate entity altogether, which works much better than if it merely tried to impersonate the film. that would've been a disaster

SONGS
the original songs are just as fresh and brilliant as ever of course. howard ashman's brilliant lyrics stand the test of time brilliantly. for that reason, it seemed kinda shady that tim rice would step in to flesh out the piece, but he does a great job. the more satirical songs like "me" work great to advance the story and characters. and the more moving songs like "home" and "if i cant love her" are effective and moving. the best part is the music. alan menken pulls many of the themes for these songs straight out of his brilliant score. you can hear them all if you go back and re-listen to that great score like i did. that use of the score gives this a great coherence and you cant tell which are original and which are new to this production. truly top notch.
SONGS 5 out of 5
in the end, this walks a fine line between being an extension of the film and being a seperate piece altogether. it walks that fine line perfectly and is a great way to relieve the film since you can just hear where all these songs would fit in. there's a reason why this is the longest running american musical on broadway. A++
OVERALL 5 out of 5
