For the first time, the Broadway version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast will be staged in Hong Kong. The tale of Belle and her beast will be here with songs and a full cast ready to bring the beloved animated film to life.
Throughout their existence, the Hong Kong Singers, now in their 77th year of operation, have brought some of the most widely known and popular Broadway musicals to the Hong Kong stage, such as Annie, Guys and Dolls, and My Fair Lady. This production is no exception, with HK Singer veteran John Tustin at the helm – with over 25 years of experience and 30 productions under his belt, it’s sure to be a good show.
For this production, expect all the hits from the movie from rising opera star beauty Joyce Wong and Swiss baritone Olivier de Molina. In addition to the classic movie songs, such as the wonderfull fullcast performance of Be Our Guest, there are a few new tunes that are exclusive to the Broadway version of the show.
It promises to be a charming evening, and really, who can resist going to a show that features a candlestick, clock and teapot in the cast? Bourree Lam
