The only ones on the photo I know are

Andrea McArdle
Megan McGinnis
Jennifer Shrader
Deborah Gibson
Ashley Brown
Deborah Lew
Sarah Uriarte Berry
Annaleise Van Der Pol

I'm suprised Susan Egan & Kerry Butler weren't there.

How unfortunate that Susan Egan, the original Belle, was not there! I love her voice.

not all of them have officially starred in the Broadway production (jen shrader, ana maria andricain, etc.) but in nat'l tours and understudy/ensemble in the broadway show. i actually message susan egan through myspace and she messaged back! I was very excited = ) she said she couldn't make it because, as most of us know, she just recently had a baby, Nina, in California and wants to stay there and stay dedicated to her motherhood for now. I don't know why Kerry Butler wouldn't be there.

It would have been cool to see Toni Braxton there. I really can't imagine her as a Belle. Then again, they did add "A Change in Me" when she got there, so she must have made some kind of imprint in the show.

I saw Susan Egan and Brooke Tansley and hope to see Annaleise before the show closes. I'm still a little depressed that it's coming to an end...

Thanks neddyfrank2! I'm surprised I left out Deborah Gibson considering she's featured quite a few times in those pictures.

I found it funny looking at the Chip photo and thinking how old some of them looked and then realising that of course they're older, some of them would have played the part 13 years ago

I should also point out that the longest running Belle was not there Tuesday night either. Sarah Litzsinger is currently doing Falsettos at the George Street Playhouse (and brillantly I might add!).

If you are interested in identifying the Belles, this is the order of the picture "Belles and Steve Blanchard":

the Front Row - Andrea McArdle; 2nd Row - Ann Sanders, Deborah Lew, Deborah Gibson, Anneliese van der Pol (current Belle); 3rd Row - Ashley Brown, Jennifer Schrader, Sarah Uriarte Berry, Christianne Tisdale, Ana Maria Andricain, Andrea Burns; 4th Row - Megan McGinnis, Steve Blanchard (Beast), Brooke Tansley

You can use that to figure out the other two pictures at: https://www.broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=17643
