I saw the Broadway show when I was a child, so hearing the music brings back a lot of good memories. The CD is in superb condition...no problems playing it at all! I also like how a booklet of all of the song lyrics is included. I personally prefer Paige O'Hara (Belle in the Disney movie) to Susan Egan (Broadway recording), but Susan puts so much emotion into the music that she sounds wonderful either way. All of the songs on the CD are amazing, whether it's the showstopper "Be Our Guest" or the soulful "If I Can't Love Her." This CD is a must-have for anyone who loves the movie, Broadway show, or just Belle in general (my favorite Disney princess)!
Beauty and the Beast is a classic Disney movie that I'm sure every child 4 and older must know about. I have yet to see the show on Broadway, but by judging from this cast album the show is bound to be exciting, atleast thanks to it's score. All of the songs that you remember from the movie are included with additional songs added to create a full length Broadway show. However the added songs fit in so nicely that you may find yourself thinking they were originally part of the movie as well. Overall the Broadway Cast is good. Belle's voice has an odd quality to it at times, almost as if she's tyring to sound too "cartooney" and I think the Beast tends to overact a bit. If you are curious about this show I'd still recommend that you give the soundtrack a listen...ofcourse you can also try the London cast album, which I have yet to hear.Read full review
Now I write again if my experiences I had with the products that I bought through ebay and I am more than happy with. I love musicals, and perhaps can be said to be something of a musical sissy, even though I am an opera singer, but as you can see, I now hoard from Disney musicals the wonderful world, and I heartily recommend that you buy these unforgettable stories, the heroes and princesses, the beauty and ugliness, but that it must find that there is beauty inside a person down there is an outer shell that may not Time is as beautiful. The music and the document is masterful and the sound quality was not any better, then of course it depends also on what you play them on, a whole new stereo system is much better than a regular boom box. I recommend on the warmest of these products and if you do not buy them, you will miss something important.Read full review
The CD is in great shape. No marks or anything. I had one previously, that I didn't throw away until I got this new one, that skipped a couple of my favorite songs. The only thing I didn't like that was changed was the CD graphics. My original CD had the cast members Belle and Beast on the front with the copy right information. This one was just the title Beauty and the Beast and I believe the song titles. I liked the cast on the front better, but I can live without it.
My grandaughter recently played Mrs. Potts in her school play..I never heard the music from the broadway version, but when they did the play, I just had to have the cd..I also bought another one for my daughter, since she, too, loved the music..I hope someday they will bring back the broadway version of Beauty & the Beast in New York, so we can all go to see it..
