Kelly Lawler USA Today The special is good in pieces. It's always nice to see Moreno or to hear an artist like H.E.R. cover a classic Disney tune. But it gets dull to watch it all put together. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 16, 2022 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) I wish all the live action remakes were done this way. Respecting the animators, great performances, a tribute to the original films Dec 31, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Johann D. M This musical television special serves as a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Beauty and the Beast’s historic Oscar nomination for Best Picture, and it is a part animation and part live action spectacle with the musical numbers being performed live by an amazing cast and 30 talented dancers with outstanding and clever choreographies that are worth watching. The costumes and the make-up departments are also incredible and it was nice to see they included Josh Groban performing 'Evermore' from the 2017 remake. Such a treat for the fans of this movie! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Ash P I'm a huge fan of Beauty and the Beast as a kid and always will be regardless of adaption, being animated or live action, as well as loving this Broadway adaption to celebrate the movie's 30th anniversary. I love the songs, the sets, the costumes, even the transitions between the animated scenes and it's Broadway set. I guess the only nitpick I have is the Beast stage design which is silly, but it's the same for how the CG in some of the live action versions that are silly as well. If you're not into musicals or Broadway related, ya might not like this one. But if you are like I am, you'll have a good time with the songs, set transitions and you'll clap and how amazing this cast has done for this. 9/10. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Cara B A creative reinterpretation of a classic, with 'Be Our Guest' showcasing clever choreography. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Sister loved it. Me? Eh. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/30/23 Full Review Lorenzi M #TVReview #BeautyAndTheBeast30th @BeautyAndTheBeast30th 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 1/2 (Out of 5) Colorful, Musical, Fun and A Pure Delight To Watch! Composer @alanmenken (the composer of #Aladdin, #Pocahantas and #TheLittleMermaid) is back with his musical creation known as Beauty and the Beast in a 30th anniversary celebration stage performance on #DisneyPlus. This live theatre adaption was written by #RyanLandels (the teleplay) and #LindaWoolverton (the original screenplay) and brilliantly and magically directed by #HamishHamilton. The costumes, set design, visual effects and staging were amazing to see. Visual eye-candy and with a musical score you'll catch yourself singing too. Loosely following the story and using clips from the animated feature it's narrated by the great #RitaMoreno and stars #HER as Belle, #JoshGroban as the Beast, Joshua Henry, #MartinShort as Lumiere, #DavidAlanGrier as Cogsworth and #ShaniaTwain as Mrs. Potts! The musical numbers and arrangements were both colorful and imaginative and how the stage changed and even the outdoor sequences at the actual #DisneyStudios in #Burbank were so much fun to watch. And how can you go wrong with all the singing talent cast in this anniversary special. Again, the only reason this didn't get a perfect score is because the only issue I had was it goes by way too quick and was condensed with some story points missing. Nothing major, but I would have preferred keeping it a little closer to the original. This is something special for the whole family and just a joy to see – for me because I love live theatre. I loved Beauty and the Beast. I loved this cast and I really loved this entire production. You will too!
