​

Monologue Options:

​

BELLE: (Speaking to the Bookseller) Good Morning! I’ve come to return the book I borrowed. I couldn’t put it down. I wondered if you have got anything new? If not, I will just borrow one I have already read. It’s my favorite. Far-off places, daring sword fights, magic spells, a prince in disguise...Mine? You are giving it to me? Well, thank you! Thank you very much

​

LEFOU: (To Gaston) (Please use a character voice) I got it! I got it! Wow!  You didn’t miss a shot, Gaston! You’re the greatest hunter in the whole world. No beast alive stands a chance against you! And no girl for that matter. 

​

GASTON: (To Belle & Villagers) if I didn’t know better, I’d think you had feelings for this monster. She’s as crazy as the old man! She says this creature is her friend. Well, I’ve hunted wild beasts and I’ve seen what they can do! The Beast will make off with your children. He’ll come after them in the night! Forget the old man! I say...we kill the Beast! Try and stop us! We’ll rid the village of this Beast. Who’s with me?

​

BEAST: There’s a stranger here! Who let him in? You have all betrayed me! Who are you? What are you doing in my castle? You’re not welcome here! I am hideous aren’t I? You’ve come to see the Beast, haven’t you? I’ll give you a place to stay! 

​

LUMIERE: (CANDLE): (Try a French Accent) (To Belle) Enchante’ Mademoiselle. Remember, Cogsworth, she is not a prisoner. She’s our guest! We must make her feel welcome here! Oh, and what is a dinner without a little music? Ma Chere mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now we invite you to relax. Let us pull up a chair as the Dining Room proudly presents...your dinner?

​

COGSWORTH (CLOCK): (Try a British Accent) (To Belle) Hello, I am Cogsworth, head of the household. And this is Lumiere...If there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable, anything...anything at all! Except feeding you! Can’t do that. You heard what the Master said! Oh fine. A glass of water, crust of bread and then... Oh all right, dinner. But keep it down! It the Master finds out, it’ll be our necks! What?? You want music too??

​

MRS POTTS (TEAPOT) (Try a British Accent) (To Beast) try to be patient. The poor girl has lost her father. We won’t be human again that soon. These things take time. Master, you must help her see past how you look. You could start by trying to make yourself more presentable. Be gentle. And above all....you must control your temper! 

​

MAURICE: (Belle’s Father) Belle! Belle! I can’t for the life of me figure out why that happened! I’m about to give up on this hunk of junk and I mean it this time! I'll never get this bone-headed contraption to work! ... You really think I could become a world-famous inventor? Well, we’d better get cracking. This thing’s not going to fix itself. 

​

NARRATOR: Once upon a time in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the Prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter’s night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the Prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. 

​

CHIP: (Teacup) Try the grey stuff- It’s delicious! Don’t believe me? Ask the dishes!
