largely due to audience reception, "beauty and the beast" remains one of broadway's biggest successes of the current era. "beauty and the beast" established itself as a musical that could survive on broadway despite its unenthusiastic reviews. several detractors had thought that musicals like "beauty and the beast" would be a one-time event, but the results ultimately turned out to be quite the opposite. according to theatrical producer stuart oken, disney's success with "beauty and the beast" is responsible for today's biggest broadway hits and making the medium "better than it has ever been". the groundbreaking performance of "beauty and the beast" inspired other major hollywood studios to produce broadway renditions of some of their own films. disney soon began to commission broadway adaptations of several of the studio's most popular musical films, namely "the lion king" (1997), "mary poppins" (2004), "tarzan" (2006), "the little mermaid" (2008), "newsies" (2012) and "aladdin" (2014), in addition to producing the musical "aida". after completing her run in "beauty and the beast", egan would famously go on to voice meg in disney's animated musical "hercules" (1997), establishing herself as a popular voice and film actress. following the success of "human again", the song was later incorporated into reissues of the animated film in the form of an animated musical sequence.
