Beauty and the Beast on Broadway

When my mom told me she wanted to go see Beauty and the Beast on Broadway, I had no feelings either way. Sure I'll go, but I didn't really care if I don't. I went with my mom, my sister and two of my aunts. So what did we think?

Overall Impression
Overall, it was cute. I'm glad I saw it, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to see it again. I've been to a lot of musicals, and most the time I want to see them over and over. This one actually made me want to grab the Disney Cartoon and watch it again, but I don't want to spend 80$ again.

Here's some more detail:

Plot: In case you didn't know
The Plot of Beauty and the Beast on Broadway is EXACTLY the same as the Disney movie. Same songs, same words, I don't think much (if anything) was changed.

--If you already know the plot of the movie, you can skip this part--

If you've never seen the movie, the plot is pretty simple. Belle is an "odd" girl in a little french town that likes to read and fantasize about Princes and Adventure. She lives with her father who is also "odd". The "quotes" around odd are because they are not really that strange, but everyone in the town thinks they are odd because they like to Read, Invent, and of course they like to Think! (A dangerous past time!)

Belle is the Beauty. Yes, although she is odd, she is still considered a Beauty. So who's the Beast? Although Belle seems to think it is Gaston (a big snobby guy who's always hitting on her) , the Beast is a completely different character. We find out right at the beginning that the Beast is actually a Prince who was cursed into becoming a Beast because he was mean. The only way to break the spell would be to find true love.

There we have it... we got the Beauty, and the Beast, that's all you need to know! If you really have never seen the movie, I don't want to ruin the storyline for you.
