Lumiere , Belle and cast perform"Be Our Guest" in"Beauty and the Beast" at Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier.
As I wove through the crowds of tourists on a sunny Friday afternoon, the pier was as busy as I’ve seen it since before the pandemic — a positive sign for the city’s economic recovery. When I reached the theater lobby, I was greeted by the sight of cute young fans dressed in Belle costumes, eager to see the beloved princess onstage.
Thankfully, Chicago Shakespeare continues to employ live musicians as it did pre-pandemic, but with only four orchestra members , the score sounds quite sparse. It’s no fault of the performers, and orchestrator Heidi Joosten makes the best of the circumstances, but you really miss the orchestral swell when Belle sings, “I want adventure in the great wide somewhere,” to name one example.
