ROLES (the following info works better on a computer than a phone):

​

BELLE - Belle is a smart, confident young woman from a small village. We are

looking for a strong singer and actress who can stand up to Gaston while

showing compassion for Maurice, the Servants, and eventually the Beast.

Gender: Female / Vocal range: G3-F5 / Total Lines: 124 / Solos: 5.

Audition Song: Home  

 

Scenes: Belle Audition Side 1 (w/ Maurice & Beast); Belle Audition Side 2 (w/ Gaston & Lefou)

​

​

 

 

BEAST - The Beast is a young prince who was hideously transformed by the

Enchantress’s spell. We are looking for a student that can handle this complex

character: a dictator, a hurt child, a hero, a defender, and a smitten prince. You

must be able to deliver a range of conflicting emotional states. Although the Beast

sings a bit during Something There and the Finale, this is truly an

acting role. We may choose to cast the Prince separately from the Beast, and the

Prince would end up singing in the Finale.

Gender: Male / Vocal range: B3-E5 / Total Lines: 82 / Solos: 2.

Audition Song: Something There                        Finale

 

Scenes: Beast Audition Side 1 (w/ Belle & Maurice); Beast Audition Side 2 (w/ Lumiere, Mrs. Potts, Babette, Madame, Cogsworth)

​

​

 

LUMIERE - Lumiere is a confident, charming French mâitre D who (under the

enchantress’s spell) is becoming a candelabra. He has an incessant bickering

rapport with Cogsworth. Lumiere should be a strong singer who can light up the

stage in Be Our Guest. If you can handle the French accent, fantastic! This role

covers a range of emotions (from charming entertainer to brave soldier) and

requires prominent song and dance.

Gender: Male / Vocal range: A3-D5 / Total Lines: 56 / Solos: 2

Audition Song: Be Our Guest

 

Scenes: Lumiere Audition Side 1 (w/ Beast, Mrs. Potts, Babette, Madame, Cogsworth)

Lumiere Audition Side 2 (w/ Maurice, Cogsworth, Beast, Babette, Mrs. Potts, Chip)

 

 

COGSWORTH - Cogsworth is the British major-domo of the castle who is becoming

a clock. Like all of the castle’s Servants, he shows fatherly compassion for

Belle yet is perfectly submissive to the master, the Beast. Cogsworth enjoys

feeling like the boss and has no problem getting into it with Lumiere. We’re

looking for a strong actor and singer who can act in charge.

Gender: Male / Vocal range: A3-E5 / Total Lines: 52 / Solos: 1.

Audition Song: Human Again 

 

Scene: Cogsworth Audition Side 1 (w/ Maurice, Mrs. Potts, Chip, Babette, Madame, Lumiere).

​

 

 

MAURICE - Maurice is an aging and eccentric inventor, but more importantly, Belle's

adoring and protective father. This non-solo singing role is perfect for the

student who can have fun interpreting this crazy old man while conveying some

very strong emotions: fear and fatherly love.

Gender: Male / Total Lines: 41 / Solos: 0.

Scenes: Maurice Audition Side 1 (w/ Belle & Beast); Maurice Audition Side 2 (w/ Beast, Mrs. Potts, Chip, Babette, Madame, Lumiere, Cogsworth).

 

GASTON - Gaston is pompous and dim-witted and will do whatever it takes to win

Belle’s hand. Gaston has all the confidence in the world but lacks the humility to

balance it. We are looking for a strong singer and actor. This is more important

than physical size and stature for this role. He has to be able to sell his big title

number with gusto and arrogance and lead the Villagers in The Mob Song.

Biceps can be added to the costume, but the bravo needs to come from within.

Gender: Male / Vocal range A3-F5 / Total Lines: 36 / Solos: 4.

Audition Song: Gaston (Reprise)                    Belle (see below).

 

Scenes: Gaston Audition Side 1 (w/ Belle and Lefou); Belle (w/ Lefou and solo from Belle).

​

​

​

MRS. POTTS - Mrs. Potts is the castle’s endearing cook who is becoming a teapot.

The actor needs a strong, sweet voice and should be able to convey comforting,

maternal qualities amidst the chaos that is breaking out in the castle. We are

looking for a student who can play a loving mother figure to all the characters.

Must audition with other castle servants.

Gender: Female / Vocal range: F3-E5 / Total Lines: 34 / Solos: 4.

Audition Song: Beauty and the Beast

 

Scenes: Mrs. Potts Audition Side 1   (w/ Beast, Cogsworth, Babette, Madame, Lumiere)

​

​

​

​

LEFOU – Lefou is Gaston’s equally dim-witted lackey. This character needs to be

Gaston’s foil and should double the laughs for them both. Lefou should be able to

sing, act and dance. A student who has some gymnastics training would be a

plus. Gender: Male / Vocal range: C4-Eb5 / Total Lines: 37 / Solos: 2.

Audition Song: Gaston 

 

Scenes: Lefou Audition Side 1 (w/ Belle & Gaston); Belle (w/ Gaston).

 

 

 

 

CHIP - Chip is Mrs. Potts’s son, who is becoming a teacup. A great role for a

younger student, but it is not imperative. Chip has a wonderful innocence that

endears him to all of the Servants. We’re looking for an actor who can portray the

honesty and spirit of a child and is comfortable trying to sing Chip’s few solo

lines.Gender: Male / Vocal range: D4-D5 / Total Lines: 10 / Solos: 1.

Audition Song: Human Again 

​

​

​

​

 

BABETTE – Babette is the castle's maid turning into a feather duster.

She misses the finer things in life. Babette is happy to be at Belle’s service at a

moment’s notice, but her true heart comes through in Human Again. We’re

seeking a good actor with solid vocal skills to handle Babette’s harmonies.

Gender: Female / Vocal range: A3-B4 / Total Lines: 7 / Solos: 1.

Audition Song: Human Again

​

​

 

 

MADAME DE LA GRANDE BOUCHE – Madame De La Grande Bouche is an opera

singer who is becoming a wardrobe. Madame is larger-than-life in everything she

does, including her singing and dancing. We are looking for a student who can

portray the ultimate diva (with a heart) with an outsized personality and voice.

Madame has some harmony lines with Mrs. Potts and Babette, so we need a

singer who can hold her own but knows when to pull back to sound good

with the others.

Audition Song: Human Again

​

 

 

SILLY GIRLS - The Silly Girls are in love with Gaston and will do almost anything

just to be near him. We’re looking for three girls who can portray the comic

nature of these roles and enjoy playing off each other. The Silly Girls sing

together in three numbers.

Gender: Female Vocal range: A3-B4 / Total Lines: 5-7 / Songs: 3.

Audition Song: Belle(reprise)

 

Scene: Silly Girls Audition Side 1 (w/ Gaston).

​

 

 

ENSEMBLE - The audition materials for all of these roles are the same:

Audition Song: Belle                     (sing ALL parts, choose harmony where applicable).

 

Scene: Ensemble Audition Side 1 (read Narrator parts)

 

Those who memorize will receive a higher score. See below for specific roles in the ensemble:

​

​

NARRATORS – The Narrators provide great opportunities to involve students who

are more comfortable speaking than singing. The script is written to feature four

Narrators. The students chosen for these roles must be able to enunciate and

project as they guide the focus and pace of this beautiful tale. These roles are

non-singing, but the actors can also be villagers and/or servants.

​

OLD BEGGAR WOMAN / ENCHANTRESS – The Old Beggar Woman/Enchantress

should be portrayed by an actor with a flair for the visually dramatic as this is a

non-speaking role. Her transformation in the Prologue needs to entice the

audience into the story. After the Prologue, this student may join the ensemble as

a Villager or castle Servant.

​

MONSIEUR D'ARQUE The proprietor of the lunatic asylum. We’re looking for an

actor who can believably exude his sinister personality. Although Monsieur

D’Arque has few lines of solo singing in The Mob Song; this is primarily a non-

singing role. Monsieur D’Arque can double as a Servant in the rest of the show.

 

VILLAGERS – The inhabitants of Belle’s town. Some featured solos and

lines will come from this ensemble (Bookseller, Baker, etc.). The group must

provide vocal power and dance in the production numbers throughout the show.

These actors can double as the castle Servants if needed.

​

CASTLE SERVANTS – The Servants of the castle include Statues, Flatware, Plates,

Napkins, Salt & Pepper Shakers, and any other household (or castle hold items)

you and your cast can imagine. These enchanted characters are the “Rockettes”

of the castle. They should be able to handle a potentially awkward costume while

singing and dancing in two big production numbers.

​

THE WOLVES - The wolves inhabit the forest between the village and the Beast’s

castle. This is a dancing/acting role. There are no speaking lines or singing. This

group must be able to look fierce and pantomime the movements and attacks on

Maurice and Belle/Beast.
