尋晚去咗睇美女與野獸舞臺劇。。本來就無乜要求,所以裏面嘅效果、布景、燈光、服飾的確卑我無限驚喜。。但係,對於我基本要求–orchestral & vocal,就令我大失所望。。大多配角都好唔錯,唯獨兩個主音真係令人大跌眼鏡。。
Overall the musical is good and worth to watch, however I have the following comments. Hopefully it can be improved and worth for my 2nd visit :
TO THE MUSICAL
1. It has follow the animated B&B very closely.
2. The costume, back ground and the effects including lighting, firework, "explosion", wood cutting machine.. VERY VERY NICE JOB !!! (except the dinning table & chair - doesnt look grand at all, salt & pepper & other dinning items- difficult to identify)
3. There are some additional songs added, however.. not to my interest and I think these newly added scenes has wasted much time that caused the ending so rush.
4. The classic scenes such as when Belle leaving, when Beast died are so rush, brief and emotionless. Normally these 2 scenes I will cry when i watch the animation, but this one… i haven’t even feel the sadness the scene has ended, I haven’t even get into the mood, the beast is dead and alive and transformed and kissed the Belle and ended. The whole musical took more than 2 and half hour, but these 2 important scene ended less than 5 minutes !! Very disappointing. The fighting scene at the end is so messy, unclear and lost.
5. However, the beginning scenes are very good and surprising. The "mug dance" performed during the song "Gaston" is nicely plan and organized. The starting scene in the market for the song "bonjour" is also good.
6. Too bad that both Belle & Beast vocal doesnt attract me much. Thier voices are not outstanding at all.
7. However, the rest of the casts have great performance especially Gaston, following by candle, cupboard, broom & etc. The songs such as "bonjour", "be our guest", "gaston", "kill the beast" are greatly performed.
8. I especially like Gaston as his voice is strong and outstanding, his performance is attractive, with his flexible body.. the dances are marvelous.
TO THE ORGANIZER
1. The organizer is quite a failure, the tickets can’t be purchase online, phone lines are engaged all the time, the box office counter only opens AFTER the 1st show is started.
2. The late comers should not be allowed to enter the hall once the musical is started. The error has happened at the beginning and after the break.
3. There is no one guarding the hall, ppl taking photos with flash frequently and no action was taken!
