The first performance after nearly 17 months took place at 11 am this morning.
And MickeyBlog was there!
Greg had some pretty fantastic seats and managed to grab some incredible photos of the production.
These initial images are from the first major musical number of the film Belle.
We’ll link a video below.
But let’s just say the crowd went absolutely crazy when this musical number started.
There was applause!
There were tears…
It was amazing!!
And the cast seemed to be loving the audience interaction.
It wasn’t long before Gaston arrived on the scene to much fanfare!
The entire cast was absolutely phenomenal.
Below is Gaston being as charmingly snarky as ever.
In this abbreviated version of the show, the show, the song Belle makes way for Gaston.
After learning how good Gaston is at expectorating, it’s time to head over to Beast’s castle!
Below are some of our favorite castle friends!
That includes Chip.
Here’s Mrs. Potts.
Lumiere is here to light the way!
And last, but certainly not least Cogsworth.
They’re here to lead us into our favorite musical number from the show, Be Our Guest.
We LOVE the dancing cutlery.
We proudly present….your dinner!
The cast of the show was absolutely on point!
The singing and the choreography was as incredible as ever!
Are you starting to feel something there that wasn’t there before!?

However, it isn’t long before Gaston shows up to slay the Beast.
The fog starts to loom as Gaston takes us through The Mob Song.

It isn’t long before a battle between Beast and Gaston ensues.
And well, you know what happens.
Belle realizes her love for Beast.
Through her love she is able to break the witch’s spell.
Here’s Beast going through his incredible transformation.
He is once again in his human form!
