Beauty and the Beast
Broadway Cast of Beauty And The Beast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
True as it can be.
Barely even friends,
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly.
Just a little change,
Small, to say the least.
Neither one prepared,
Beauty and the Beast
Ever just the same.
Ever a surprise.
Ever as before,
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise.
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song.
Bittersweet and strange,
Finding you can change,
Learning you were wrong.
Certain as the sun
Rising in the East.
Tale as old as time,
Song as old as rhyme.
Beauty and the Beast.
Tale as old as time,
Song as old as rhyme,
Beauty and the Beast.
Mrs. Potts: Off to the cupboard with you now, Chip. It's
past your bedtime. Goodnight, love.

He speaks of turning hip hop into a "righteous" monopoly, implying that he wants to make a positive impact on the music industry.
There are also religious undertones in the lyrics, with references to God guiding them to the throne and using the microphone like a rod, similar to the Biblical story of Moses.

Just finished my opening night for my high school’s production of Beauty and the Beast. I’m one of the violinists in the pit, and our Mrs. Potts wasn’t able to hit the low notes, so they transposed the piece up a whole step, so we played in the key of E major, and F# major. By far the most magical piece ever in a musical, especially in our new key.
@pathendlem
The opening pianos notes mixed in with the flute will never fail to send chills down my spine
@aaliyahbroadus4279
I remember dancing to this as Belle in my schools production. It was very hard for me not to cry and mess up my makeup because this moment was sooooooo magical in the show, and was definitely one of my favourites.
@CatieCass
I HAVE to see this on Broadway (if it ever opens again). It's been a favorite story of mine since I was a little girl. I've never been to a Broadway show, but if I only make it to one in my whole life, it better be Beauty and the Beast. I know it wouldn't be starring Terrance Mann and Susan Egan, but I know that whoever it would be would be amazing. I wish someone could tell me if it was ever opening again, and if so, where and when?
@Treemotan
Catherine CRC If there's any big cities near you with a big theater or theater district, I'd see if it has a website. Usually you can see everything lined up, be they tours or performances done by that theater's troupe, for the next few months. You can also usually look up the show you're interested in online and see if they're doing any tours. I imagine that Beauty and the Beast will PROBABLY be revived and/or go on tour sometime after the new movie comes out. It happened with Into the Woods and Les Miserables, so I imagine it'll happen with BatB.
@CatieCass
Treemotan That's what I thought too! I think you're right. With the new movie coming out, I wouldn't be surprised if it did open again. Thanks for the info!
@Treemotan
Catherine CRC Another little tip, if you're unfamiliar with actually going to live shows; tickets for shows, especially if they're a Broadway tour, can get pretty expensive. Anywhere from $100-$500, depending on the theater and where the seat's at. If you can be spur-of-the-moment, going alone (not strictly necessary, but it gives you more options), and aren't particularly picky about where you'll be seated, it's worth knowing that for most theaters, the closer they are to the actual date of the show, the cheaper the tickets will be since they're trying to fill empty seats. If you're close enough or want to risk it, I've even seen places cut ticket prices by as much as 50% or 75% on the night of the performance it's for. Again, a bit of a risk especially if you live far away from the theater in question, but it IS how I got a front-row seat to Cats for what would normally be the price of a peanut seat so as far as saving money goes it's all good info to know.
@CatieCass
+Treemotan You're so right, they are very expensive. But it's still definitely worth looking into!
@candieevavold4937
Definitely go see it if it ever shows again! I got to see it back in 1995 with the original Broadway cast and it was amazing!! The costumes were stunning, the staging just brilliant, and the actors were fabulous! My friend and I were in tears by the end of the show.
