Beauty and the Beast. Really.
Musical Comedy
by: Rick Abbot
Show Dates: January 6 - 23, 2011
The Musical Comedy Beauty and the Beast. Really. by Rick Abbot puts a funny twist on a classic old tale. It’s not the Disney version, but there are plenty of catchy tunes and laughs the entire way through the witty script to please the entire family. The show opens January 6th and runs through the 23rd.
Abbot, well know for rollicking comedies like Play On and zany musicals like Dracula, The Musical? hits a home run with this hysterical and heart-warming piece. Most of the songs are played for laughs, and audiences will soon realize that they need to expect the unexpected, as Abbot turns so many conventions on their ears.
Beauty (Cherlise Foster) is not the modest Belle of Disney fame, and a step sister, Lula (Lauren Pottinger) figures prominently into the story line. These two performers are welcomed new powerhouses to the Pineapple stage and have some great duets together.
Mom and Dad, meanwhile, leave a lot to be desired in the parenting department. Leslie Parker-Earll, who’s well known for her musical roles, plays mother Holga, while founding member John Procino (Father) is in his first musical ever after 37 years on stage here. Their chemistry is uncanny, and mom and dad make beautiful music together.
Another newcomer, Justin Jones, who plays Beau, has a voice to match the charm of his character. Jones has more than a few surprises up his sleeve, as he flexes his comedic muscles in several scenes. Other surprising performances come from Chad Granese as Harry and Janna Brink as Mazine. To go into their characters would spoil some of the fun, but suffice it to say they keep things hopping throughout the play.
