Tale as Old as Time

April 30th, 2008

I just bought tickets to see Disney’s 「美女と野獣」 (Beauty and the Beast) in live musical form in Hiroshima in 2 weeks. Yay! This video is a promotional / commercial video for the Shiki (Four Seasons) Theatre Company, which I’ll be seeing. See if you recognize the characters and songs. I’ve always been a sucker for musicals, and it might be my favorite Disney film to start with. It’ll be really interesting to see it in Japanese, too. Kind of jarring to see a familiar song reworked into Japanese, actually. Ha ha. Easier than going to a different play, since I know the story and some of the music already. Maybe I’ll pick up the soundtrack in Japanese just for giggles. Who knows?

Also – side note – I am splitting the Malaysia video into two and posting it to close this week out. Next week is Golden Week. Enjoy it!

    I am so jealous! Aunt Cathy got to see the musical live a couple of years ago and she said it was spectacular. I was thrilled just to see this promo clip! Enjoy the show! I know you won't be allowed to video it, but talk about it afterwards anyway.
