But over the years, as I’ve settled into some confidence in directing, I’ve been able to look I believe that God’s desire is that we should pursue beyond what is in the script and focus on the deeper working together in harmony, admitting when we are truth that lies within it. In fact, I get super nerdy with wrong, figuring how we contributed to the situation scripts now, pouring over them like great literature and and doing what we can to make it better, even if that using the dialogue and lyrics to drive the show.

    BEAUTY AND THE BEAST STUDY GUIDE The story of Beauty and the Beast has been around since 1740. A woman named Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve wrote the tale, titled La belle et la bête. The Disney movie is actually based on a later version of this story, written in 1756 by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont that far DID YOU KNOW? surpassed Villeneuve’s in popularity.

This is pre-revolution France, as the big French Revolution started in 1789. France was, however, facing large tensions between the bourgeoisie (wealthy) and the proletariat (poor). We can assume the king of all France during this time is Louis XV, a highly unpopular king due to his affairs, losing the territory of Canada during the Seven Years’ War, and just being overall a weak king.

  • 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.

  • A Feminist Perspective “Belle Is a Feminist,” Said Beauty and The
    A Feminist Perspective “Belle is a feminist,” said Beauty and the Beast’s screenwriter and book writer Linda Woolverton in a 1990 interview. “I wanted a woman of the ’90s, someone who wanted to do something other than wait for her prince to come." Twenty-five years after Disney introduced Belle to the world, debates still flare online and in numerous scholarly papers as to whether she’s a positive role model for girls. In a town that only praises her looks and scorns her intellect, Belle decisively remains true to her principles. But though Belle reads books, her favorite involves Prince Charming. Professor June Cummins of the National Center for the Study of Children’s Literature writes, “The trait that makes Belle different, more intelligent, and more ‘liberated’ than previous Disney heroines is that she likes to read books about Disney heroines.” Later, however, when she concludes that the Beast is “no Prince Charming,” she shares another one of her favorites, a tale that better reflects her determination: young King Arthur pulling the sword from the stone. Dissatisfied with her life, Belle doesn’t look for love as a solution, deftly rebuffing the bullying attention of Gaston. And while being held prisoner in a cursed castle isn’t the “adventure in the great wide somewhere” she dreamt about, Belle responds to a crisis admirably. She takes brave action to protect her father, who is weak and childlike, and she repeatedly defies her captor. That the Beast is Belle’s captor delivers the story’s most troubling message, summed up succinctly by freelance film critic Scott Mendelson: “I’ve long joked that I was able to ruin Disney’s Beauty and the Beast for others merely by uttering two words: Stockholm Syndrome.” Woolverton counters by viewing Belle in context, part of a continuum that has led to the heroines of Frozen and The Hunger Games, or to Disney’s 2010 Alice in Wonderland, which made Woolverton the first woman to get sole writing credit on a billion dollar movie.

  • Beauty and the Beast Jeanne-Marie Leprince De Beaumont
    Beauty and the Beast Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont There was once a very rich merchant, who had six children, three sons, and three daughters; being a man of sense, he spared no cost for their education, but gave them all kinds of masters. His daughters were extremely handsome, especially the youngest. When she was little everybody admired her, and called her "The little Beauty;" so that, as she grew up, she still went by the name of Beauty, which made her sisters very jealous. The youngest, as she was handsomer, was also better than her sisters. The two eldest had a great deal of pride, because they were rich. They gave themselves ridiculous airs, and would not visit other merchants' daughters, nor keep company with any but persons of quality. They went out every day to parties of pleasure, balls, plays, concerts, and so forth, and they laughed at their youngest sister, because she spent the greatest part of her time in reading good books. As it was known that they were great fortunes, several eminent merchants made their addresses to them; but the two eldest said, they would never marry, unless they could meet with a duke, or an earl at least. Beauty very civilly thanked them that courted her, and told them she was too young yet to marry, but chose to stay with her father a few years longer. All at once the merchant lost his whole fortune, excepting a small country house at a great distance from town, and told his children with tears in his eyes, they must go there and work for their living.

  • Study Guide Prepared by Jeri Hammond and Ann Sorvari
    Disney’s Beauty and the Beast a Wheelock Family Theatre Study Guide prepared by Jeri Hammond and Ann Sorvari 200 Riverway │ Boston, MA 02215-4176 box office: 617.879.2300 │ www.wheelockfamilytheatre.org Be Our Guest at Wheelock Family Theatre’s Production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast The story of Beauty and the Beast brings to Wheelock Family Theatre audiences a spunky, intellectually curious heroine in Belle. She is admirable from the first for her loyalty to her eccentric father, her love of reading (even though it brands her as “different”), and her refusal to accept a proposal of marriage from an arrogant and boastful nobleman. Over the course of the play, she learns that love sometimes comes from the least likely and least romantic of sources, that the surface is not the whole truth, and that home is where the heart is. Her Beast learns that love cannot be forced, that love means freeing, not caging, your beloved, and that true power comes from giving it away. These two are surrounded by an entertaining collection of characters—some comic, some caring, some evil, some beastly, some silly—who add spice to the central story and help underscore the overall message about the unselfish generosity of love. Welcome to the heartwarming world of this wonderful tale! On Your Way to the Theatre… Beauty and the Beast is a story with which many, or even all, students are likely to be familiar, especially in the Disney animated film version, which is the basis for the WFT production.
