There’s A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow

Because of this, Aladdin plays up and Batb plays down. By that I mean goes for the older audience v. Younger/full family (not that both aren’t a G/PG show)

I think it allows Aladdin to be a bit more serious, dangerous/stakes are clear etc. where as Batb goes for more dance spectacle heavy and a bit lighter despite having action and heavy implications.

Really energetic and cute. The dance breaks are nice, feel very Rogers and Hammerstein but it makes Gaston boarder just slightly on too long.

Madame and Babette absolutely steal every scene they are in, delightfully high energy

Lumiere and Babette being jealous, horny, devoted and really high energy - they’re very French™️

The Beast was fantastic, he felt so youthful? Teenage almost, you could tell he got turned young— he’s angsty, he’s bouncy, he’s unsure how to move and present himself it was a fantastic performance

The way he moves. The way he sits when Belle reads to him??? And a few times they rest their head on each others shoulder? OUGH

The duck gag with Lefou at the very start will never not be hilarious.

Gaston said “oh 6….7, boys/sons” and stared dead at the audience. Apparently it flew over everyone’s head but that was funny idc

Human again SWEEPSSSSS

Evermore >>>>>>> if I can’t love her (I’m sorry argue with the wall)

At the ending Madame comes out last and just does a huge “YESSSSSS >:D” and that was a belly laugh

Kinda bummed there’s a lack of food/dining imagery in Be our guest past the start, there’s some plates and forks but by the second break mainly colors

Towards the end Lumiere says “my prince” and it’s an arrow straight to the heart and lives rent free in my mind.

Rip Jean-Claude he is now a wall. Just straight up the wall.

I like that the Servants clothes at the end are distinct from their inanimate costumes, the colors still align and feel distinctly them but it’s not just the same costumes minus a piece or two— I don’t think I’ve seen this before and I love it! Quick change 🗣️

“A change in me” is completely unnecessary as a song and would be fine with just dialogue, this with some dance breaks — I feel make the end (and act 2 as a whole) a SPRINT - like I said before Gaston spawns out of the mist, throws hands and then confetti canons - shows over

A change in me on top of not being needed, as we get all of it through the story itself or things Belle already says— also just feels sort of the same as “Home Reprise”

I know there’s a mirror but Chip’s cart is still really cool

I was on the Ariel ride and the line was actually more immersive than the ride.

Spaceship earth has such amazing animatronics, they actually creeped me out- where the hell is that effort now?

For the amount they make people pay and for all they boast about creativity and innovation; it’s lackluster at best.

I was a Disney kid, I’ll always be a Disney kid but I think they need to fire their current imagineers or something. Idk who died, maybe it was the only singular person who could make decent animatronics but please , someone, hire a new guy.
