In 1995 Ethan was selected by Disney to originate the role of The Beast for the European premiere of "Beauty and the Beast". Here is a clip of Ethan performing "If I Can't Love Her" in Vienna from the original "Making off" Documentary.
With Ethan's birthday coming up next month we thought it would be nice to look back on all the incredible roles he has performed over the years.
I've noticed that most Beasts casted for the stage production never know what to do with their bodies. Like... They just play people in a costume. We need dudes who used to be Wolf Kids growing up playing this role. Behave like a fuckin animal or something don't just stand there fiddling with your cape the whole time.
Evermore: Bro, this girl has changed me. I've been changed. All because of her. I'm gonna love this girl forever even tho she's gone from my life. Bro, it hurts, but I'm so in love.
If I Can't Love Her: Bro, I've come to the conclusion that I am unlovable dog shit. My life is shit because I'm shit. There's nothing left for me. I'm just gonna whither and die.
Everyone’s based off diff costumes/productions but Lumiere+Cogsworth specifically are moreso based off the 1994 Broadway vers cause they have the clearer pics for their costumes LOL. Did not base Belle or the Beast off that vers at all tho LMAO😭
The Beast is loosely based off a kids production I just worked w!!:) they used a masquerade looking mask instead of having tons of makeup and it’s in my mind forever tbh ….. literally so good
Does anyone know any good Beauty and The Beast audition songs?? I have an audition in February and I have no idea what I’m gonna sing, it can’t be from the little mermaid or little women since those have both been done/are being done in town recently so everyone is going to be choosing songs from those
