I bet this was fun in person, but it felt a bit disjointed as a TV special. Still, it was worth it to see Joshua Henry, who was an absolutely amazing Gaston. I loved every second he was on screen. At least skip around to watch his scenes. Really great stuff.
The beast suit was odd, but Josh Groban did phenomenal as always. H. E. R. , while an enjoyable artist, left me wanting something different. As my daughter put it, 'it felt like the credit scene took over the movie'. The pop sound did not hold up on stage next to power vocals of Gaston and Beast. Shania was also a bit weak. I know Ms Potts wasn't an epic vocal, but Angela added character that made it endearing.
