Move over Cinderella , the Beauty and the Beast crew sings and dances . And thanks to actor Sir Ian McKellen ( playing the anthropomorphized clock persona Cogsworth ) , we have a full report from the first ( and totally insane ) board read .
McKellen took to twitter to write up a dictated report - type account of how the cast , crowd and relief of the Beauty and the Beast collective faired at their first table read . But more significantly , Alan Menken and Tim Rice were both there , and that ’s fantastic . Why ? Because this intend the mold got together and basically had a classic Disney movie singalong to whatis arguably one of the greatest Disney soundtrack on the planet(although The Little Mermaid ’s “ Part of Your humankind ” is the standalone best Disney solo ) . Also , Rice and Menken are allegedly adding newfangled songs to the roll , so we have that to wait forward to as well .
Here ’s the whole day from the dot of opinion of Sir Ian McKellen .

Also here ’s an image of the cast from actor Josh Gad ’s Instagram account ( he ’s wreak the bumbling Gaston lackey Le Fou ) . manifestly we have a problem with this because casting Gad in another Disney moving-picture show is not canon .
