The Dominican version of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" musical is a success in Caracas, Venezuela. Scheduled for 13 performances, the Amaury Sanchez production has been performing to sell out audiences and getting good reviews in the press. The presentations end this 10 June. Sixty-five Dominicans traveled to Venezuela for the performance. The Dominican production was licensed by Music Theater International and Disney Theatrical served as consultant.
The success of this performance is expected to open door for more artistic presentations of successful Dominican theatrical presentations.
The presentation stars Maximo Martinez (the Beast), Stephanie Fatule (Belle), Roger Zayas (Lumiere), Luis Jose German (Ding Dong), Jose Guillermo (Gaston), Kenny Grullon (Lefou), Patricia Banks (Mrs. Potts), Cuche Gonzalez del Rey (wardrobe), Ivan Garcia (father of Belle) and Robmariel Olea (Featherduster).
Just as outstanding is the support staff, with Laura Garcia Godoy, theatrical direction; Isadora Bruno, choreography; Leonel Lirio, costumes; Fidel Lopez, scenography, among others.
