Beauty and the Beast Show Characters

My best friend in the whole world is my loving, furry Beast. We love to play Trivial Pursuit on rainy nights. Other times we'll dance the night away, or talk or read. At first, I thought he was kind of scary with all that fur and those big fangs, but now I know how cuddly and kind he is...and besides, he's ticklish!

Quotes: "They are very dear to me, these roses of mine. As dear as life itself. They fill many empty hours giving pleasure, and all they ask in return is a bit of water and some sunlight. You see, Merchant, they are as close to perfection as I have known."

"And now you have ruined my garden-- and you must pay for it with your life!"

"A girl as lovely as you could never love a creature as horrid as I."

Notes: Gordon Ellis (above, with Beauty) played the gentlemanly Beast.

This was the second straight show in which Gordon had to wear a fancy headpiece. (He also played the Mirror in the Boston Baked Theatre production of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs.)
