I just got back from a great performance of Beauty and the Beast at the Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake. The pyrotechnics were an unexpected addition to a stellar production. I was very impressed with the professional quality of the show. Was it worth $55? Maybe. Since it was a new experience, I guess it was worth it. I’m glad I was able to see a broadway show, but I don’t plan on doing it regularly.
Oh wow,I bet that was awesome !! If I ever go there,I’ll have to take my girls to see it :)
The first time I saw B+B on Broadway, it cost me $10. I stood for the first half and had 1st-row seats for the second. Beauty would be looking right at me as she sang — that was pretty cool. The second time I saw it cost me $20 and I just got to sit in the back.
I wonder why it’s so expensive here if it was only $10 on Broadway?
I forgot to mention that I also sat in the very front row. I was so close I could have kissed Belle (assuming I could figure out a way to reach over that pesky orchestra pit). That’s also assuming I could force Belle to kiss me, but hey, Gaston did it, why not me?
The tickets were expensive because they were the good seats. I believe the cheaper ones still go for $20 or so. I don’t think I’ll miss the extra $35 that much, I’m glad I got a good seat.
