Los Angeles | April 12, 1995 | VOB + Smalls

Cast: Susan Egan (Belle), James Barbour (Beast), Gary Beach (Lumiere), Burke Moses (Gaston), Tom Bosley (Maurice), Beth Fowler (Mrs. Potts) Gary Beach (Lumiere)

Notes: For the time period that it was filmed, it's great. Sound and picture synch up and I love anything Gary Beach does and he kills it as Lumiere. And Susan Egan's wonderful. B Quality. Missing smalls file.

Broadway | July 27, 2007 | VOB + Smalls

Cast: Anneliese Van Der Pol (Belle), Steve Blanchard (Beast), Chris Hoch (Gaston), David deVries, Jeanne Lehman, Glenn Rainey, Jamie Ross, Trevor Braun, Aldrin Gonzalez, Ann Mandrella

Notes: Very well filmed with a couple of moments of shakiness but otherwise focused, steady, and unobstructed; mostly mid-shots and not so many close-ups though. Video is missing the first 30 seconds and the last bit of the curtain call is audio only.

Notes: Fifth Manchester Preview! Only a few minutes are missing from Act One but video ends mid-way through Act Two. An hour and a half of footage split into 8 mp4 files. Minimal heads obstructing view, however has problems with focus and washout.

Larrabee (Chip), Tom G. McMahon (Monsieur D'Arque)

Notes: The show is captured from start to finish with no blackouts, no obstruction, and no washout. some scenes, including the prologue and the wolf attacks, are very dark and hard to make out, but that’s the only minor flaw in an otherwise fantastic video. The video is very steady throughout, and the sound is excellent.

Cast: Brad Little (Beast), Mandy Bruno (Belle), Brian Noonan (Gaston), Ron Wisniski (Lumiere), Jeff Howell (Cogsworth), Ray DeMattis (Maurice), Jeff Skowron (Lefou), Joy Franz (Mrs. Potts)

Notes: The audio starts before Belle’s father leaves for the market, video comes when Maurice is in the castle; great filming with amazing close-ups, the show itself is a real treat – pretty good actors, sets and costumes. In my opinion, one of the best Beauty and the Beast videos available, contains curtain call.
