How did the Gaston song translate to the stage?
It was great. Gaston has more room to be his hammy self, showcasing his biceps and posing for the audience. He had these sideburns, and his mannerisms were like Johnny Bravo's. Even doing the "Hoo-Hah!" at times. The song itself was great. Everybody singing and dancing, and clinking their beer steins in unison. Definitely a highlight. Perhaps if Gen saw it, she might even warm up to Gaston (song AND character) ;P

Ahhh I'm jealous. That sounds incredible. Did it follow the Disney version exactly or were there some extra scenes or songs?
I just checked the tour schedule and it's not coming to Seattle. The closest performance is in Sacramento. :(
Awww, that's a shame. You would have loved it.
There were new songs and scenes. Some things had to be simplified, shifted around a bit, or omitted to be suitable for the stage, but the core stuff from the film was the same. Gave more dialogue to the side characters, and tons more humour which derived from the way the actors sold it. Fantastic all around.
