It is, in fact, the biggest show ever in the form of technology, sets, scenery, props, costumes, illusions and movement of sets on stage. It really must be seen to be believed," said Kevin, who looks back over the past 18 months and thanks Brian de Courcy for tipping him off about Disney developing the show for stage.
He can't speak highly enough of the production, the Australian version of which was the first outside Broadway, says Kevin. Kevin also brought out Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson - the single biggest pop music production he has ever attempted. Tickets are on sale now. Hugh himself is taking it all in his stride. It seems everything he does in life is an exciting challenge and as a graduate from the Western Australian Academy of performing Arts in , he wasn't expecting a major role to come his way for quite some time.
Gaston is rather arrogant, yet comical at the same time, so I played it to the fullest in my audition - you have to love to hate him. As Gaston, who is determined to wed sweet Belle Rachael Beck , Hugh produces an energetic performance both physically and vocally. I often feel like Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil But there are no complaints.
I just love it and have fun on stage in every show," the handsome young actor said. As for a honeymoon, that may have to wait until later in the year when Gaston finally gets a break from pursuing the stage love of his life, Belle. We get along so well and share mutual respect," said the talented year-old, whose character Belle sees through the beast's ugly exterior and falls in love with him. She loves her father and wanted more from life - and why shouldn't she?
It's what is inside that counts," said Rachael. In July the production chalks up its first year but, according to Rachael, the cast and herself are still as fresh as the day the production opened in Melbourne. You have to find the truth every single time. My father was a director and produced lots of shows in the northern New South Wales town and surrounding areas," she said.
I grew up with all the old musicals, singing in the car and I also trained as a classical ballerina. I didn't start acting until I was 15, and my parents sacrificed a great deal - including selling their home - to give me the chance to be on stage. Morocco is a likely destination for her next overseas trip. However, the fact that Michael doesn't tell them, is no deterrent to audiences trying to guess. Another thought the beast was being pulled up by strings.
Costumes are another key to the success of Beauty and the Beast, according to Michael, 32, who is setting new records in donning his extensive clobber.
After all you have to put on the horns, face, lips, reglue the face if it falls off - it's never ending. Gaston, presumably, is a little like Highlander; meaning when two incarnations are in the same room together, they must inevitably do battle to determine who is the superior Gaston. So, when Hugh Jackman and Luke Evans both turned up as guests on The Jonathan Ross Show , something epic was inevitably going to go down; with the host challenging the pair to a competitive rendition of the song 'Gaston' from Disney's animated classic, Beauty and the Beast.
Jackman played the role in an Australian production of the film's Broadway adaptation. The film is, indeed, set to be a musical reviving its original songs; meaning we'll be getting to see Evans' full version of the ditty in all its silver screen glory. Who wins? It's a close one, certainly; though Jackman's well-known as a musical phenomenon, Evans' spirited rendition perfectly inhabited the rakish figure in a way that's certainly going to raise expectations for the upcoming live-action adaptation.
It's Jackman's Eddie the Eagle co-star Taron Egerton, however, who held no hesitation in revealing himself as the room's biggest Beauty and the Beast fan; jumping into the role of Gaston's loyal sidekick LeFou without prompt for the song's opening lines. Is it too late swap Josh Gad out for him?
