Beauty and the Beast (17 june 2006. Pittsburgh. Cast: Brad Little, Mandy Bruno, Brian Noonan, Ron Wisniski, Jeff Howell, Ray DeMattis, Jeff Skowron, Joy Franz. Shot from the left orchestra but only about a minute of action is missed (when Gaston and the Beast climb the " roof" during the final fight). Audio starts before Belle's father leaves for the fair but filming doesn't start until after Maurice is in the castle. Lots of ushers so about four or five coverups during the first act, usually less than a minute long at the end of a song and nothing major is missed. The second act is filmed better with only one coverup during the show and one at curtain calls. Good picture and sound throughout. Quality: A-/B+)
