I was wondering, when Beauty and the Beast closes, what will they do with all of the stage props and costumes? Are they ever sold or auctioned off? I think it would be wonderful to have something from the show. -Steph

I have a silver stein from Beauty & the Beast that was used in Gaston's song (in the bar). It's cool & it has tons of dents & stuff from all of the mug clinking in that number. I also have a top hat from Beauty and the Beast that was used in Be Our Guest.

How is the new ending different?

I would like to hear what you thought of the show. I know this isn't a popular sentiment, but I really love this show. I'm a fan of Steve Blanchard too ( I know, another highly unpopular opinion...)I've heard that John T. is great. What did you think?

I would choose Beauty & the Beast.I really loved BatB. I really enjoy the story, whether it's Disney's version or the original classic (looking into a person's soul to judge them instead of their appearance & all of that...) I think Disney did a beautiful job with it. The sets are interesting, the costumes are lavish & gorgeous, & the characters are compelling & comical. My only complaint about the show was that it seemed rushed at the end. My second recommendation for you if you do not choos...

Sara Ramirez would be a great choice for Ursula! Also, I think Steve Blanchard is amazing & has a powerful & expressive voice. I can't understand why people are always putting him down... As far as the wheelies go, I sincerely hope that part isn't true!

Personally, I think that Steve Blanchard is a far better Beast than Terrence Mann. I did like Terrence in the role, but I really think that Steve's performance is more powerful and moving.

I have seen Steve as the Beast at the Lunt Fontanne last April & I thought he was wonderful. His voice was so powerful & expressive! I found his performance very moving. I've had the opportunity to see others in the role & Steve is the best Beast by far. When he sings "If I Can't Love Her", he conveys so much emotion, and he is able to hold that last note for so long! He is an amazing Beast! I'd love to see him in the role again.

I think that Steve Blanchard is an amazing Beast. He conveys such sadness & longing, wonder & love... He is an outstanding performer with a powerfully moving voice. I've seen him in BatB (w/ Ashley Brown, Peter Flynn, & Jeff Brooks who were all also wonderful!). I've also seen other performers as Beast & to me, no one holds a candle to Steve.
