17 roles
Belle is the story’s heroine – smart, compassionate, assertive, and brave. She values her freedom and individuality and is considered an oddity in her village because of her love for books and her disdain for Gaston’s advances. Her primary songs include “Belle,” “Is This Home,” “Something There,” and “A Change in Me.”
The Beast is a Prince who was transformed into a monstrous creature by an enchantress as a punishment for his arrogance. Beneath his beastly exterior, he struggles with his need for love and acceptance. His character sings “How Long Must This Go On,” and “If I Can’t Love Her.”
Gaston is the story’s antagonist – a handsome, muscular, and extremely narcissistic hunter who is relentless in his pursuit of Belle. His self-centeredness is highlighted by his belief that Belle should naturally want to marry him. Gaston’s key songs include “Me,” “Gaston,” “The Mob Song,” and “Gaston (Reprise).”
LeFou is Gaston’s comical sidekick who idolizes Gaston and is always trying to stay in his good graces. He provides comic relief but also shows a level of fear towards Gaston. He is featured in “Gaston,” “Gaston (Reprise),” and “The Mob Song.”
Maurice is Belle’s eccentric father. He is an inventor and is seen as a bit odd by the townsfolk, but he shares a deep, loving bond with Belle.
