Did this one in high school. I was the fly captain/operator for this show, solo. This song was the last before intermission, and we had a rotating set. The west wing swung in and out on wheels. The timing we had for “let the world be done with me!” was INSANE. Director counted down on headset, I had to drop the scrim, lighting had to pop the backlights, stage crew had to spin the stage. It was incredible. Four performances and every single one was flawless.

It was also the show I got a li’l bit electrocuted during, when someone broke my rail lights and I stuck a finger in an open socket with my huge metal hipside headset on.

Good to hear this song performed again. I was so disappointed when they took it out of the movie version.

[Sara-hzzk]

His final “me” is the best and strongest I’ve ever heard for this song. It was like a melodic cry, rather than hitting the hard “eeee” that so many voices have to do to sustain the note. He’s lovely. His is so different and compelling.

The acting choices are immaculate, and I’m obsessed w the leather jacket

[chaneldial]

I absolutely love this song because beast is pouring out his feelings about how he feels towards himself and towards bell🤩

[melissamiller]

Yes please bring this to Disney + I must see this

[TheGytrashRoams]

The costume design is the best I’ve ever seen. And he obviously has a great voice, but I love that he’s acting through song more than simply trying to sound pretty!

[theatrecrazy]

I wish they would release a proshot of this stage production! Maybe someday!❤

[thomasb-king]

we need a filmed version of this for disney+

[jamessirot]

I love all of this. The new costume looks amazing also. I just wish the kept his cape.

[laceyjs]

So gorgeous- I wish we could get an album with this cast

[christophercarmichael]

Had the absolute privilege of seeing the production live a few weeks ago.
This clip (magnificent though it is) doesn't compare to the feeling of being in the room. Easily one of the best bits of the whole show.

[mollymation]

Hot I need to see if I can find the full version of this song. If beauty and the beast is back in Broadway, and he plays beast, I will happily fly across country to listen to this performance live. And whoever the costume designer is needs a raise. Bravo.

[csam]

Has anyone else found it interesting when Ashman was alive the Beast never had a solo song and get after he died in every adaptation he does

[opendoorsprodnyc]

I can't wait to see this new reimagined production in July of 2025 at Chicago's Cadillac Palace Theatre. I saw it first in the UK, then last June in Sydney, Australia. So exciting to see it finally come to the states!

[lorealroache]

I love this so much. Truly warms my heart to see a person of color in this role. So monumental.♥️♥️♥️♥️

[hcuulvw]

As expected, Disney... Beauty and the Beast are always great songs.. My whole body reacts automatically no matter what I hear.
It was such a happy time. 10623 이승윤

It's a crime this song wasn't used in the live action film.

[scoutravenson]

O...M...G!!! That set, that costume, his eyes, his voice! Completely perfect all of it!😍 I want to see his full performance of this number!

Nice to see Beauty and the Beast get a revival after closing on Broadway WAY back in 2007 to make room for The Little Mermaid. No offense to the Broadway version of The Little Mermaid, but it can’t hold a candle to the original Broadway adaptation of Beauty and the Beast.
