La Bella y La Bestia

Sunday I dipped back into my childhood and saw the Broadway version of a Disney classic, La Bella y La Bestia (Beauty and the Beast). I remember seeing this play when I was much younger but this was a while new experience. I remembered nothing about the play from the last time so it was as if I was seeing it for the first time.
So there we were, four grown women amidst a sea of young girls and their parents. It was almost comical that we came without toddlers but it didn't matter because we brought the children inside of us. Everyone should take time to reminisce their fondest childhood moments once in a while, no matter what their age. Disney was and always will be a classic for me. I don't think I will ever forget the songs or stop enjoying the movies (Chris would probably say the same).
The production itself was exciting. The magic effects were great and there were quite a few dance numbers that were very entertaining. I must admit I even shed a tear as the Beast struggled to control his anger and when Belle professed her love for him (sigh). And what was most cool was that I saw the production in Spanish and was understanding pretty well.
