In its gala opening at the Princess of Wales Theatre, the stage adaptation of the Alan Menken/Howard Ashman movie animation leapt to opulent life, enriched by additional lyrics by Tim Rice and a book by Linda Woolverton.
All the power of Disney has been brought to bear on this work: multiple Oscar and Grammy-winning composer Alan Menken, the brilliant lyricists, the late Howard Ashman and Sir Tim Rice, the book by Linda Woolverton, the sets by Stan Meyer.
Yet despite this formidable array of talent, the millions of dollars of pre-production, the success or failure of this show rests on the frail shoulders of one young, tiny girl, Kerry Butler, Bell, the beauty.

 Talkin' Broadway Review: Beauty and the Beast
That distinction is crucial - in making it, Woolverton made the stage Beauty and the Beast truly about people facing difficult choices and uncertain consequences.
Woolverton's commitment to re-spinning the familiar story about one man's loss of humanity into a deeply human tale is what has always made the stage Beauty and the Beast work.
But even so, none of these things have ever been able to completely smother all the elements in the show that work, and work well.

During that time he called Bernie and told him about the project, and Bernie said he would like to meet me. I asked Linda Woolverton, who was writing the book, to join us, and we flew to LA to meet Bernie.
At this meeting Bernie said the magic words, ‘Yes, I want to do this, but no dancing vampires, right?’ Linda and I agreed; that’s exactly the tone we are going for.
And I was so blown away I called him up – he had a sense that it was good – and after that he was just off and running.

 Review: Beauty and the Beast   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
It has set the standard for today's animated motion picture, improving upon The Little Mermaid and establishing a level that no subsequent animated film has equaled.
The tale told by Beauty and the Beast is an old one, dating back centuries prior to the version penned by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, upon which screenwriter Linda Woolverton based this script.
Understandably, the people at Disney have added their own spin by changing certain plot details, modernizing Belle's character (she's a feminist), and adding a gallery of talking objects.

 Disney's Aida--NOT What the Doctor Ordered
To be sure, the production is up to Disney's standards with dazzling Technicolor lighting by Natasha Katz and witty, striking sets and costumes by Bob Crowley, and the cast for the most part delivers the goods.
But Elton John's score skims the surface of the story's emotional potential and the book by Linda Woolverton, Robert Falls and David Henry Hwang is more concerned with anachronistic jokes than creating characters of any depth or complexity.
Tim Rice, "Aida"'s lyricist, seems forever fated to be teamed up with successful pop composers--first with Andrew Lloyd Webber, then with Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus of Abba fame and now with Elton John.
