What a great video! I liked how Susan Egan said they could revive it and then she could be Mrs. Potts!

Great video, just saw this for the first time two weeks ago. One thing I was curious about was how Donny Osmond got away with playing Gaston and all those comments about how big and manly he was, apparently they make him wear long sleeves.

I am so sad to see Beauty and the Beast go. I saw it when I was little with the origanal cast. It was my first broadway show. I am gona miss it so much.

Very nice! I think Van der Pol is clearly one of the best actresses to ever grace the role of Belle, in comparison with some of the others in those videos.

Fantastic video.
It got me teary eyed.

Loved seeing all the clips of the Belles, I wish there had been one of Kerry. I love Anneliese, Susan and Ashley, they are seriously powerhouses.

Susan and her comment about playing Mrs. Potts! HAHAH. I love her.

Beauty and The Beast was my first Broadway musical. October 22nd, 2000, a Sunday matinee. Andrea Mcartle was Belle. I will never, ever forget that until the day I die. One of the most memorable moments in my life was seeing Beauty and The Beast as a kid.

A tearful Au Revoir to Beauty and The Beast.

What a beautiful video! Brought a tear to my eye ~

And all the fairwells were so sweet! But can I say? I think Deb Gibson look AWFUL in that video! She looks SO old in it! Or maybe it's just me...

AH! Craig! The bonus footage from the performances would make my life! Please!

I can't wait to get home from work so that i can watch this video!! I love BATB and I'm sad that it is closing. I'm excited to hear that there is Jamie Lynn Sigler footage! I rememeber hearing some of her "Change in Me" a while back, and thought she sounded great!

Many thanks.

I saw the show about 50 times and could always count on a much needed boost.

Too beautiful, Craig. I cried. Great job!

Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only teary one! Craig, thank you! You have made the days of so many people around me a much more pleasant one, to be certain!

The extra footage...xoxoxo? And if there is a (name your favorite diety) in (ditto), could these videos exist on BWW into perpetuity to allow us addicts just a tiny diversion from the mess known as life?

Well Craig, in my world, you're as close to the golden goose as I can imagine. Keep the videos coming, and know there's a special place in my heart (if not in heaven) for people like you!

Aw, now I'm even more sad that I never got to see it.
