"Be our Guest" for this enchanting production of "a tale as old as time" at the lavish 1,500-seat Theater of the Stars along Sunset Boulevard. Relive all the romance and magic of the classic Disney film in this elaborately staged, effects-laden production that brings to life the classic love story of Belle and the Beast, and features Disney character favorites like Gaston, Lumiere, Mrs. Potts and more. Beauty and the Beast -- Live on Stage recounts the beauty of the original film. Through the use of extravagant costumes and vivid set pieces, showstopping dance numbers, and 5 classic songs—including "Be Our Guest" and "Beauty and the Beast"—it's a show that promises a fairy tale ending every time. The show features some of the beloved vocal talents from the hit film, including Robby Benson as the Beast, Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Potts and Jerry Orbach as Lumiere. I recorded this family video on November 12, 2010 at Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World using my Canon HV30. All references to Disney characters are property of Walt Disney Co.

Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade. SO. Story behind this video is this email: Dear Sharon K--------- student number ------------------- Your program was assessed on Mar 19, 2015. According to our records your requirements for your ENGLISH program have not yet been met. If you have requested graduation, you may be ineligible to graduate. Check Degree Explorer at DegreeExplorer.utoronto.ca to see which of your program requirements have not been met. Should you have any questions please contact our department. Regards, Department of English Which led to this email: Hello. There is DEFINITELY a mistake. I HAVE taken the magic of physics. And the magic of physics WAS NOT a credit/ no credit course. I DID click the option for credit/no credit at the end of the semester, but this was only because I DID NOT REALIZE THAT "THE MAGIC OF PHYSICS" COULD NOT BE CREDITED/ NO CREDITED. This MUST be sorted out soon, because I already got into the University of Toronto's graduate program for English. I don't remember what my exact mark was for the magic of physics, but it CERTAINLY was marked, and I distinctly remember struggling through that course JUST for the purpose of graduating. I'll be coming to the office first thing tomorrow morning to sort this out. Also, I think it should be mentioned that the 0.5 science requirement is not a breadth requirement (which CAN be credited and USUALLY IS) but a course requirement. That is something that would easily confuse ANYONE. Also, thank you for accepting me into your masters program. Sharon Which thankfully led to this email: Hi Sharon, I have records of all of your grades from PHY100 except the final exam. The exam was marked by all TAs and the grades were entered directly into Portal. I will talk to the professor to see how the exam grade would be tracked down, presumably he has a record of them or perhaps the physical exam still exists somewhere with a grade written on the front. Get back to you soon, Which then led to this email: Oh my god. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much of a panic I've been in. I'm an English specialist, and I just got into grad school for a masters in English, and I'm up for a sshrc, and everything seemed to be going fine, when all of a sudden I get an email from the English department saying that I may not be eligible to graduate. Thank you so much again. You have no idea how much this means to me. Also, hope your PhD has been going okay. If you ever want a thank you coffee it's on me. Sharon Everything will probably work out okay.

Huffington Post 2015-04-03Musical theatre is a form of theatre that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance. The story and emotional content of the piece – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through the words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. Although musical theatre overlaps with other theatrical forms like opera and dance, it may be distinguished by the equal importance given to the music as compared with the dialogue, movement and other elements of the works. Since the early 20th century, musical theatre stage works have generally been called, simply, musicals.
Although music has been a part of dramatic presentations since ancient times, modern Western musical theatre emerged during the 19th century, culminating with the works of Gilbert and Sullivan in Britain and those of Harrigan and Hart in America, followed by the numerous Edwardian musical comedies and the works of American creators like George M. Cohan. Early in the 20th century, the Princess Theatre musicals and other smart shows like Of Thee I Sing were artistic steps forward beyond revues and other frothy entertainments and led to such groundbreaking works as Show Boat and Oklahoma!. Some of the most famous and iconic musicals through the decades that followed include West Side Story, The Fantasticks, Hair, A Chorus Line, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Rent, The Producers and Wicked.
