It was good to see Beauty and the Best today at the Alexandra Theatre in BHam.
Shaun Dalton is the beast, fab to hear him again. Great role for him, he is most excellent. When he transforms from the beast to the prince, he does it with such ease. I couldnt be spun upside down that many times without being sick !!!
Ben Harlow was Gaston and he did a marvellous job .
Kerry Stammers was middle silly girl and a napkin, plate and posh courtier. Beautiful girl and a fab dancer.
James Bisp, was Book seller, sifter spoon, and is understudy Monsieur D'Arque,Gaston and Luminere, hopefully he will get to go on as a lead this time, unlike when he was in Joseph.
Hayley Reed was Tall silly girl Plate and Napkin, Babette.
I personally love "Be our Guest" and the Tavern song and dance.
with all the clashing of the tankards.
Mainly school children in today, they were very well behaved.
A couple of mini buses with special needs kids, bless they did get quite over excited.
In the front row was a young mother with 2 year old twins and 3 year old, they actually spoiled it for lots of people with their constant crying and asking questions. Must have been very offputting for those on stage and sitting around her. The kids were much too young to appreciate it. Glad I had row E at the end of the aisle.
Still dont like the Alex, the staff were not very friendly or helpful either.
My husband put cheap batteries in my camera last night, and today it wouldnt work. so I had to get Shaun and Kerry to take some pics on their camera phones, so as soon as I receive them I will get them on here. ;D ;D
