LOL I really liked Deborah Lew! Her 'A Change in Me' was spectacular,...Disney never really made an error for picking a Belle. I was never too fond of Steve Blanchard (the Beast).
My favourite parts:
1) Home
2) A Change in Me
3) End Duet/Beauty and The Beast (Reprise)/Transformation good stuff.
Has anyone heard James Barbour (now starring as Sydney Carton in ATOTC on Broadway) as the Beast? He was incredible too! I still love Terrence Mann + Chuck Wagner too (going back to my Wildhorn roots!)
LOL Back to Deborah, I saw this a few months after it closed and it made me smile!:

I actually saw her the night before closing night walking down the street of the theatre

. It's a shame she should have got to close the show instead of Annaliese!
