BEAUTY AND THE BEAST has been seriously extended.
Originally closing January 31, 2005, now the show will run until March 20.
That'll be about 150 performances by the end. For me, that's about 150 falls to my death, 300 weight-lifting curls of Belle during "Me", two or three thousand instances of LeFou abuse, and countless manly heroic poses.
Our Beast was delayed on the other side of the big rockslide on I-70 after Thanksgiving, forcing our mutual understudy to quickly fully learn the role (he wasn't required to be ready yet, there'd been no rehearsal) and go on last night. He also went on for today's matinee, and he did a bang-up job if you ask me. I'll explain the only unusual occurance during his two shows with this Note to Jon : It's not your fault the beast wig fell off during the fight, dude. You've worn the costume ONE other time and we never even ran the fight in costume. The way the costume is prepped for the transformation makes it a miracle that hasn't happened already. So no worries, you kicked ass.
Great house today. Leaving in one hour to put on the ponytail for show #2.
