Mom came over on the 10:30 am boat and went back at 7:00 pm today. I picked her up at the bus depot shortly after 1:00 and then we went and watched Disney's Beauty and the Beast at the Stanley Theatre. I haven't been there since it was a movie theatre. Now they have live plays there. It was excellent. Awesome singers. Made me shiver and get tears in my eyes at times. Their voices were so powerful. The show was very entertaining and funny too and all the costumes were great. All that could were transferred from the cartoon to the stage: the talking tea-cup, clock, candlestick, spoon, fork, napkin etc. Here's the description from the Arts Club Theatre's website:

"Winner of the 1994 Tony Award for Best Musical, the most beautiful love story ever told comes to life on stage. Brilliantly adapted from the Academy Award-winning animated film, this much-loved spectacle will thrill you with its show-stopping musical numbers, astonishing sets, and lavish costumes."
