...Beauty and the Beast was amazing. And such a neat experience, too. Seriously, though, it was an absolute miracle that it all came together as well as it did. But luckily, we have an incredible amount of talent in this small community of ours.

The Villagers, including Maurice, Belle, The Silly Girls, Gaston, and LeFou
The entire Cast and Crew of BATBI LOVE these people. Really.
My husband, "Lumiere," and "Cogsworth," also known as BenAnd the costumes--well, see for yourself. They were pretty darn good, too. If I do say so myself.
Gaston (David), LeFou (Byron), and Monsieur D'Arque (Mike)
The transformed Prince (Alan) and Belle (Delsy)Her grandmother made that dress. It's INCREDIBLE. And I sort of want to wear it. Just once.
Again, my cute husband as a candle. Isn't it fun? I totally did that....with some help from my mom. But really--it's probably my favorite costume in the show. :)
The Enchantress (Cindy) and the Young Prince (Mike)
The Napkins--Chelsea, Emery, Alyssa, and Jessica.Aren't they adorable?!
Our Plates: Collette, Shannon, McKenzie, and Cindy Cool story--the plates totally spun when they danced. Steve was the one who figured out how to make that one work.
Cogsworth, Babette (Nancy), Lumiere, Madame de le Grande Bouche (Brenda) and Mrs. Potts (Mindy)--Enchanted versions
Me: the Cheese Grater. Can't even tell I'm 6 months pregnant, can you? If you look closely, there are hidden mickeys on my costume. See if you can spot them!
Human Version: Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, Babette, and Madame de le BoucheHonestly, I don't mean to brag, but aren't these costumes so much fun? They really did turn out to be pretty incredible. And although it was probably one of the more stressful experiences of my life, I really am glad I got to be a part of this show. The people were amazing, the play is just a wonderfully written play, and it was just magical.
Thanks to everyone who came and watched!!
**By the way--if any of you know anyone who is putting on Beauty and the Beast anytime soon and would like to buy some costumes, I know of some they could ask about. Let me know! :)
