in south america, argentina was the first country to produce it, with marisol otero as belle, juan rodó as beast, diego jaraz as gaston, gustavo monje as lefou, pablo lizaso as lumière, mónica nuñez as mrs. potts, omar pini as cogsworth, alejandra radano as babette and rodolfo valss as maurice. it ran from november 26, 1998, at the teatro ópera in buenos aires until august 15, 1999, before opening again in 2010. brazil was the second country to host the musical. disney had plans to bring it to the country in 1999, after the success in argentina, but nobody really knew if it would work. three years later, in 2002, "beauty and the beast" finally opened in brazil at teatro abril, one of the biggest theaters in the country. it was a huge hit, for more than one and a half years, it was presented with kiara sasso playing belle and saulo vasconcelos playing the beast. in 2009, a new belle and a new beast were cast, lissah martins and ricardo vieira, as the musical came back to brazil, kiara sasso was playing maria in "the sound of music". "beauty and the beast" remained for six months at teatro abril. even though the play was brought back as a way to try to recoup some of the money lost in brazil's version of "miss saigon", this second incarnation of "beauty and the beast" failed to create any critical buzz, or to be a box office success.
beauty and the beast (musical)
"beauty and the beast: original motion picture soundtrack" continues to be best remembered for spawning the dion-bryson single, which established itself as an instant classic. the success of song is believed to have established dion as a bankable recording artist. before agreeing to record "beauty and the beast", dion had been fired from recording the theme song of "an american tail: fievel goes west" in favor of the more well-known linda ronstadt. although both singles were released around the same time, the success of dion's song ultimately eclipsed ronstadt's "dreams to dream". biography.com referred to "beauty and the beast" as dion's "real breakthrough into pop music stardom". according to lifetime, the song "cemented her international success," while "people" wrote that the release of "beauty and the beast" is when the singer truly went "global". in the wake of "beauty and the beast"'s success, young fans who had not yet learned dion's name would simply refer to her as "beauty and the beast". the commercial success of "beauty and the beast" ultimately earned dion a $10 million recording contract with sony music international; the song was then included on dion's successful self-titled studio album, serving as the record's "cornerstone". american musician prince was so moved by dion's performance on "beauty and the beast" after hearing it on the radio that he personally wrote a song for her to include on the album. according to filmtracks.com, "beauty and the beast" offered "a glimpse at a forthcoming mega-movie song presence for celine dion". evidently, the singer has since recorded the theme songs of several blockbuster films, including "when i fall in love" from "sleepless in seattle" (1993), "because you loved me" from "up close & personal" (1996) and finally her signature song "my heart will go on" from "titanic" (1997). "beauty and the beast" has since appeared on several of dion's greatest hits albums, while the singer has returned to disney as a special guest to host various segments for certain "beauty and the beast" re-releases.
