  • Beauty and the Beast
    BEAUTY AND THE BEAST CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS: BELLE (Stage Age: 18-30) Belle is the original fairy tale heroine–kind, gentle, and beautiful–but with an important 21st Century twist. She is a strong, intelligent, spirited and independent young woman. Belle is the moral conscience of the story, elevated by her thoughts and deeds. The maturity and depth of her character allow her to see the true beauty and spirit within The Beast, and to love him for it. This role requires a very strong singer who portrays innocence with her singing and speaking voice. MezzoSoprano: Low A-High F THE BEAST (Stage Age: 21-35) The Beast’s tortured soul is evident for all to see. He is paying the ultimate price for a moment of mean-spiritedness, and wishes beyond wishing that he could rectify his mistake. There is anger and menace in The Beast’s appearance and behavior, but increasingly we see his soft and endearing side as he interacts with Belle. It becomes clear that he is a loving, feeling, human being trapped within a hideous creature’s body. This role requires a very strong singer, and the actor must have a strong speaking voice and stage presence. Baritone: A–High F GASTON (Stage Age: 21-35) Gaston is the absolute antithesis of The Beast. Although he is physically handsome, he is shallow, completely self-centered, not very bright, and thrives on attention. However, when his ego is bruised he becomes a very dangerous foe for The Beast, Belle and Maurice. This role requires a strong singer and character actor who moves well.

    3 List of Characters Belle Townsfolk: Beast Aristocratic Lady Gaston Fish Man LeFou Egg Man Lumière Sausage Curl Girl Maurice Baker Lady with Cane Mrs. Potts Lady with Baby Cogsworth Candle Man Chip Hat Seller Madame de la Grande Bouche Milkmaid Babette Shepherd’s Boy Monsieur D’Arque 3 Silly Girls Ensemble roles: Townsfolk, Angry Mob, Servants (Flatware & Dishware) Brief Character Breakdown in Beauty and the Beast, Jr. BELLE is a smart, confident young woman from a small village. We are looking for a strong singer and actress. Ideally, she should be able to transition from her chest voice to a chest voice/head voice mix comfortably. Belle needs to be able to stand up to Gaston (and the Beast!) as well as those who don’t seem to understand her, while being able to show compassion for her father, the Servants, and eventually the Beast. MAURICE is an eccentric, older inventor, yet more importantly, the adoring and protective father of Belle. This non-solo singing role is perfect for the student who can have fun interpreting this “crazy old man” while conveying some very strong emotions: fear and fatherly love! The BEAST/PRINCE is the master of the castle who was transformed by the Enchantress’s spell. Casting for size is not as important as choosing a student that can handle this complex character: a dictator, a hurt child, a hero, a defender and a smitten prince. We are looking for an actor who can deliver a range of conflicting emotional states. The Beast and Prince may be cast as separate roles.

    Originally Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions Music by ALAN MENKEN • Lyrics by HOWARD ASHMAN & TIM RICE • Book by LINDA WOOLVERTON Originally Directed by Rob Roth Director's Note Be Our Guest! I can't possibly thank the amazing cast and crew enough for the incredible amount of work they’ve done for this musical. None of this would have come together without their dedication and passion for theatre. We hope you’ll thoroughly enough yourself. I have held the belief for a very long time that Disney’s adaptation of Beauty and the Beast is a textbook example of a perfect animated movie. There’s a reason it was nominated for Best Picture. Its characters, the pacing of events, the themes and of course, the music, all fit together so well. It’s the timeless, magical tale that teaches children not to judge a book by its cover. As I approached bringing this story to life on the stage, I came to realize not just how deeply that message runs, but how many more lessons we can derive from this content aimed towards a younger demographic. This is what surprised me the most: the fact that this “Kids’ Musical” has so much to offer and teach us that we as adults are so quick to forget. There are simple morals, to be sure, such as the value of being kind, seeing the best in other people, and that uniqueness is to be celebrated… all things we should always try to keep in mind. You may think that these are obvious lessons, and I hope you do, but we as a society have reached a point where they cannot be stated enough.

Beauty and the Beast all started with Jeanne- Marie LePrince de Beaumont. The story was first published in France in 1756 as Magasin des enfans, ou dialogues entre une sage gouvernante et plusieure de ses élèves (“Magazine for Children,” or “Dialogues Between a Wise Governess and Several Exceptional Pupils.”) It was adapted from even older mythologies dating as far back as Ancient Greece. The first English translation appeared in 1757. Over time the title has become the same in French as in English, "La Belle et la Bête,” or, "Beauty and the Beast." The Jefferson Performing Arts Society will be performing a version created by Walt Disney.

Stanley D.

It is appropriate in the Year of the Stage Manager to celebrate these unsung heroes of the theatre. They are responsible for scheduling and running rehearsals. They serve as the liaison between the director and the rest of the creative team. From opening night through the closing night, they ensure that the director’s vision of the show remains in place. Their most visible job function is to call the sound, lighting, scenery, and special effects cues in the dark from the back of the amphitheatre in the sound and lighting booth. Tonight, all those elements are being overseen by Stanley D. Cohen, who we refer to as the “Rolls-Royce of Stage Managers.” Stanley has stage managed more than 70 productions at The Moonlight.

    “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr.” Character Descriptions Character Description Vocal Range Belle Belle is a smart, confident young woman from a small village. Needs to G3 – F5 be a strong actress and singer, must be able to stand up to Gaston and the Beast, as well as show compassion to those who don’t understand her. Maurice Maurice is an eccentric, older inventor, yet more importantly, the N/A adoring and protective father of Belle. Needs to be able to have fun interpreting this “crazy old man” while conveying emotions of fear and fatherly love. Beast The Beast is the master of the castle who was transformed by the Enchantress’s spell. This actor must be able to handle a complex character: a dictator, a hurt child, a hero, a defender, and a smitten prince. Gaston Gaston is pompous and dim-witted and will do whatever it takes to win A3 – F5 Belle’s hand. Gaston has all the confidence in the world, but lacks the humility to balance it. A strong singing and speaking voice and acting is important for this character. He has to be able to sell his big number, “Gaston,” with gusto and arrogance, as well as lead the troops in “The Mob Song.” Lefou Lefou is Gaston’s equally dim-witted lackey. This character needs to be B3 – E5 Gaston’s foil and should double the laughs for them both. Lefou should be able to sing, act, and dance. Silly Girls The Silly Girls are in love with Gaston and will do almost anything just C4 – F5 to be near him.
