This previous Thursday (February 20, 2014) I had the privilege to once again return to the Hobby Center for Performing Arts in Houston, Texas. My fiancé and I have a season subscription to the Gexa Energy Broadway in Houston. This show was Ghost the Musical based on the Patrick Swayze movie “Ghost.” I had heard that the visuals and illusion type effects were pretty awesome, so I had relatively high hopes for this production. The following is my not so in-depth review...
Beauty and the Beast
A couple Sundays ago, September 30 to be exact, I was lucky enough to go see Disney's Beauty and the Beast Broadway musical at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts in Houston, Texas. I found it interesting to compare the lengths between the feature film, the Broadway musical and the show performed at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. The feature film would obviously be the standard, setting the pace for the story. The DHS version does a great job hitting the highlights, telling the story and giving you the music you would expect. The Broadway musical is like the feature film on steroids. You get the story, highlights, filler, music, more story and more music. If I were to sum the musical up in the form of one word, great!
