NOVEMBER 17, 2012: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

NOVEMBER 17, 2012

A highlight of this fall was knowing that Arts Live Theatre would be putting on Beauty and the Beast!  Even better was when Benjamin and Bethany both got in the cast!!!  What fun this has been for them!

Thank you Dad for taking to so, so many rehearsals at night!!!

And YAHOO! for Joseph now driving so he could drive to final rehearsals and shows!

Joseph worked as one of the stage managers, he ran the curtain, and helped move large sets. 

The Richardson stars of Beauty and the Beast

Bethan (villager), Joseph (curtain man), and Benjamin (Lumierre)

 Benjamin was also the "Baker" in the opening scene.  

He had lines with Belle and then said, "Marie! The Bagettes!  Hurry Up!"

What was really funny is that the girl who he calls this to 

is really named Marie!!!!

 Bethany had a couple of solo/duet parts in the opening number, too!

She was also the official "rose mover" through out the show!

She is always given important backstage helping jobs because

she is so reliable!!

    

 Benjamin, the baker, is selling his bread.

 Lumierre (Benjamin) is rattling off the dialogue for the beginning

of his big solo of "Be Our Guest."

  

 Benjamin sings and dances with the wardrobe and "Babette" the duster

Bethany fun to watch! Her acting has really improved over the past few shows!

This scene is from the tavern scene with Gaston.

  Another "Be Our Guest" scene

 Benjamin now has flames!

This scene is after the fight at the castle and Lumierre says,

"Well, it looks like we've won!"

Come visit us and we will have Benjamin sing for you, Bethany dance, and Joseph run sound and pull open the curtains!
