I was recently visiting the Beauty and the Beast site. I knew that Donny Osmond has just left but as I was looking through the bios there was a different Belle. It seems that Deborah Lew is Belle now. When did Sarah leave the show?
I think she was only slated for a limited run when they announced her.

I know, that's why I'm not seeing it, the tickets I got were after she left...so sad...

Ugh, I just got tix for next Wednesday. Is Johnny T still in it?
EDIT: Just checked around and it looks like he is. Yay! Plus Stephen Buntrock is now Gaston! I have seen that man in everything (Martin Guerre, Jane Eyre, Titanic, Phantom, Les Miz...) - he's great.

So i think Deborah Lew is Asian... she did Miss Saigon... how many Asian Belles have their been (and i don't mean the japanese version people)... i know that Aura Deva was Belle in Germany... any others?
Ann Sanders was an Asian Belle.
Leah delos Santos (Stuttgart)

oh wait... i think it was Leah de los Santos and not Aura Deva.... hmmm... oh well...
and just because.... we need more Asians on Broadway!!!!!
Well, Aura has done a lot of other stuff, too. ![]()
Beware! Blink tag!
Deborah Lew seems to be able to go either way when it comes to ethnic specific casting, as she has done both Miss Saigon and Maria in West Side Story...
Deb Lew is a rockin Asian Belle.
More Asians in BATB please!
(actually any more color in BATB would be nice)
Buntrock rocks also.
Curtain, have you seen her? How is she?
She's sweet and and her voice is FINE.
This part can be difficult to sing.
She is an interesting and wonderful addition to the list of Belles.

This might sound like a random question, but does anyone know how long Stephen Buntrock is going to be in the show? I saw him several times in Les Mis, and really liked him. I've been dieing to see him in some other role, but haven't had the chance.
