REVIEW: Beauty and the Beast at Brightside Theatre

"Choreographer Jeni Donahue also creatively works in fantastic choreography with possibly the hardest working ensemble ever assembled. They tag in and out of dances, link arms and huddle in groups to allow for fascinating routines that in chant the audience. Special standouts are "Be Our Guest," always an audience favorite, which not only works in kicklines and cartwheels but also has the actors changing costumes during the dance to represent silverware and cups and other objects that came to life. The best dancing, however, is found in "Gaston," which employees crashing metal cups in ways that would impress Anna Kendrick."
