Today, we shared a conversation with Lanah Andrews who is playing the part of Babette – the castle maid who was turned into a feather duster.

Lanah talked about how she is preparing to play this character. She is finding differences between herself and the character Babette which are helping her define the role.

She shares her favorite songs from the show and encourages the community to come see this classic tale come alive on the Memorial Theater stage this weekend.

Synopsis:

Beauty and the Beast JR. tells the story of Belle, an adventurous young girl, and the Beast, her hideous captor who is actually a young prince trapped under a spell. In order to break the spell, the Beast must learn to love another and earn her love in return – before time runs out.  With the help of the castle’s enchanted staff, including a loving teapot, a charming candelabra, and a nervous mantel clock, Belle and the Beast find a beautiful friendship and love that neither knew was possible. Beauty and the Beast JR. features classic songs from the Academy Award®-winning film score such as “Be Our Guest” and “Belle,” as well as original songs from the 1994 Tony®-nominated Broadway musical.
