What a wonderful video! Pity Sarah Litzsinger wasn't included as she is the longest running Belle in the show. (Both Broadway & National Tour on several occasions.)

I'll miss the show so much re: BWW TV Exclusive: Saying Au Revoir To Beauty and the Beast

But excited for Little Mermaid :)

It is sad that it is ending, but it is great to have new blood entering the Broadway theatre scene.

I hope that it does come back. I know some people didn't like that it was so close to the movie, but why mess with perfection?

While some might say beauty was Disney ruining broadway, I think in many ways it was saving it, getting out of the durge of rock operas, and back to the structure, story, and style of old musicals in the great traditions of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Lerner & Lowe, and others.

Beauty, you will be missed, but as Ursula (used to) sing in Little Mermaid, "All Good Things Must End"...

Craig, excellent work. It made me wish that I could be in attendance for the final performance on Sunday.

I know. I thought it was funny how she was talking about them writing a song just for when she joined the show, and then there wasn't even a clip of her singing her song.

I'm incredibly sad to see this go. But as Susan Egan said, how can you complain with a 13 year run? I'm so glad I got to see it when I had the chance. I got to see Donny Osmond as Gaston and it was fantastic.

I've always loved the show and movie and this video was very beautiful and touched me.

Fantastic work, Craig.

And a lot of luck and best wishes to the cast.

It was beatiful. Van Der Pol gave me chills as well.
And I was sad to not get to see Kerry and Tony peform, but atleast they got commentary.
And I hope Susan Egan is right, hopefully it will be revived soon and she can play Mrs. Potts.... hopefully.

Thanks for all the great comments both on this thread and via email. I'm glad so many are enjoying it - and are moved by it as well.

I wasn't keen on having to go to the final show...but thanks to that video, I'm now really looking forward to it! Nice job, Craig!

Craig, that was absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad it was put together! I've watched it three times already, and still get chills. Audieu, Beauty and the Beast. You better get a revival soon.

I've already said this, but I'll say it again:

I can't believe we're experiancing the magic one last time.
