I'm the clock. Gaston wore these... ummm... muscle things. They're pretty odd when you're right in front of them, but I hear they look good from the audience. There are about 6 or 7 "silly girls". It's good for balence of parts and they're all so talented... I guess the directors didn't want to leave that much talent without a part.
Any other questions?

We JUST got all their costumes finished yesterday.
Picture this: One costume designer. Making all the costumes. Enough for tons of objects, tons of villagers. A TON of stress, I'm assuming.

errg. Sounds stressful. At my school, we're struggling to finish the set for Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I think our show is going to both suck and blow, if that is possible.

Posted: 4/22/05 at 11:00amI don't want to detract from this school's production in any way, but if you're interested here's a link to another high school production I recently saw and reviewed (for a high school production, it blew me away). Here's pictures from the production (http://lhs.davis.k12.ut.us/events/beautyandthebeast/slideshow/), and here's my review of it (http://www.sodapopculture.com/reviews/beauty.htm).

I think BEAUTY AND THE BEAST should be officially renamed "MRS. POTTS YOU'RE A CRACKWHORE!" I love it!
Now regarding this second high school production. Did they borrow the sets and costumes from the bus and truck tour or are they just like in serious infringement of the copyright on the original Broadway designs?

hahahaha..I would also like to know how they got these identical costumes. I am in an Equity production of Beauty and the Beast (I am "Belle") and our costumes are reminiscent and very similiar to the Bway company but not exact due to infringement rules.
I also worked for Disney as Belle and that girl's dress looks like mine.
How did they get these costumes?? They should be very very careful.

I can't speak to the issue of copyright, but I do know that the costumes were all created by volunteers (that is to say, nothing was rented from a touring company), which I thought was pretty amazing. Talking to the staff I found out that the production cost close to $30,000 to produce, and fortunately made it back. My high school sure didn't have 30 grand for the school musical!
I agree that the designs of a handful of costumes are darn close to the original designs, though I've seen other productions in my area (seems to be the new favorite of all the high schools and community companies) that are even more total rip-offs, though much less well-executed than these were. I don't think most productions at this level (where a bunch of soccer moms are doing the costuming) are very well aware of the fact that designs are copyrighted. Hopefully they just don't rip them off and then make them suck worse.
I think the licensing companies need to do a better job educating people about things like that, or stop licensing shows that are impossible for your average costumer to design. At the same time, schools and companies do themselves a terrible disservice in choosing shows where people have a pre-set notion about what costumes should look like. I dare you to do this show without Belle in a yellow ballroom gown, or the Wizard of Oz without Dorothy in blue with sparkling red shoes. The audience would revolt!

While I'm dominating the thread, here's a quick shot from another local high school production. Even without color you'll see a direct rip-off of the Broadway designs 
And since I'm here, props to your HS production, Buttons. It looks more uniquely designed but no less lively or fun. I hope you're having a blast in your role.
