Beast Chore
Wed, 31 Jan 2007, 08:52 amI loved the chore for the guys in the tavern. It was slick and strong - exactly what you would expect.
The wolves were also effective.
I was disapointed with the chore in Be our Guest. I found alot of it was lost behind the other cast and also the set. But I understand how hard it is sometimes to chore and teach the dance and then fit it onto the stage. And they did a good job with working with some rather large costumes and set pieces which I believe only arrived the week before the show opened.
My other issue with the chore was more from a cast point of view. I found that Belle was fighting the Beast's lead in the waltz - I know this may seem picky but it is something that I noticed.
Overall the show was extremely professional and i really enjoyed it.
