Free Music Notes for Disney's Beauty And The Beast: The Broadway Musical - Original Broadway Cast Recording (Blisterpack)
Free Music Review: "Great musical. Not the best in the world though."
Hit: 4 Stars
Overrated. Not as epic as it could be. "The Lion King" is Disney's true musical masterpiece.
Most of the songs have nice tunes but get old after about the tenth time. There are only a few great ones: "If I Can't Love Her", "Human Again" and of course "Beauty and the Beast".
Still a really great show and once more a great album.

Free Music Review: My favorite Disney Broadway Musical Recording!
Hit: 5 Stars
In my opinion, "Beauty and the Beast" is the most romantic movie of Disney that I'll never forget. I have been eager to see the musical for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to see yet. Then I bought this record, in order to feel the liveliness of the stage, I really felt it and I'm eagerer to see the musical!
Needless to say, all the songs in the movie were taken to the musical. But the difference is that the stage made all the songs performed more vigorously. Especially songs that performed by many performers, for example, "Be Our Guest" "Belle" "Human Again" and so on. The melody was almost the same with the original versions in the movie, but the musical instruments as if have been changed a little. I seem that I saw all the actors and actresses played the characters in "Beauty and the Beast", what a vigorous spectacle! And I felt that a miracle of love was taken into reality!
There are many songs that were adapted from the scores in the movie. Then one I love best is "Home". It's very beautiful, and it has good lyric. It reflected Belle's emotion absolutely. The voice of the actress who played Belle is lovely, and it's very similar to Belle's dubber in the movie, Paige O'Hara's. The song "If I Can't Love Her" is wonderful too, I love the voice of the Beast very much. "Transformation" impressed me much, this plot in the movie hadn't got song to sing, but Belle sang the melody of "Home", it made this plot more impressive. And the last few sentences that Belle and the Beast sang together made us felt the great power of love, a miracle which occurred just because of true love!
I think this broadway musical recording is one of the best, it's even better than The Lion King's. I really want to see this musical. I was told that this musical has been taken to Shanghai several years ago, but I missed it! However, I would never miss it if this musical came to China again. And I have decided to see the musical of The Lion King in Shanghai this summer vocation.
Free Music Review: Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme.

Well, what can I say. "Beauty and the Beast," was one of my favorite Disney movies when I was growing up. I was 10 when I saw it in the theatres. I'm 24 now, and my girlfriend and I have tickets to see this show done as a musical at Mill Mountain Theatre in Roanoke. She and I are both very young at heart, so when I bought this recording, I had to share it with her. This wonderful recording contains virtually all the songs from the film, plus some additional new gems. "Something There," makes me cry every time I hear that cut. This CD is well worth owning.Free Music Review: My Favourite Musical!
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this CD when I went to see the musical when I was 6 (I'm 16 now). It was burried in my closet for the longest time, and I found it in the summer. Since then, I have not been able to stop listening to it! The music is so beautiful. All of the voices match the characters perfectly, and they sing so wonderfully! The orchestra is amazing, and they compliment the singers perfectly. The tunes are so catchy, and the lyrics are so perfect and witty! This CD can take you away to a different world, and make you believe that you are living in a dark castle in a French provincial town. My favourite songs include Belle, No Matter What, Home, Be Our Guest (of course!), If I Can't Love Her, the Entr'acte (that orchestra is wonderful!), and the End Transformation. I know it sounds like a lot, but they're all so wonderful! If I had to choose just one favourite, it would be "Home." Susan Egan is the perfect Belle, and I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. I've lent this CD to all my friends, and we all love it. I hope you love this CD as much as I do!
