Beauty and the Beast Venue 9 – The
Rachel Browne Theatre (WCD Studio)
Beauty
and the Beast is a
love story between a young girl named Beauty and a hideous looking ogre named
Beast. Of course, this is an opera, which means the dialogue is sung not
spoken. This
production is visually stunning with lovely costumes and nice sets. Micheline Girardin has lovely vocal
range as Beauty. However, this is a flawed production. At times, I had
trouble hearing the singing over the live piano player. And, this production also
missed some of the comedy in the father’s character. The father needed
to show more emotions but was unfortunately emotionally flat. - Justin Olynyk
