Review
For community and school groups or aspiring performers seeking accompaniment/ karaoke tracks for Beauty and the Beast, or just Disney-addicted kids tired of singing a capella or belting along with the singers on the soundtrack or cast albums, the accompaniment tracks here will do the trick. Alan Menken's bouncy and swelling melodies are clearly played without being annoyingly simplified...Christina Bianco as our Beauty is sensational... --TalkinBroadway.Com

Customer Reviews

Beautiful music but where are the words?
Beautiful music and voices, however, on the second cd, though it has great music, there are no back-up singers, nor lyrics for the karaoke machine, so unless you memorized every song and words, you should start learning.

Good. Not great.
Purchased this item to use as a rehearsal CD for our Community Theatre's production of Beauty and the Beast. It has all of the songs from the stage version of the show, and they are fully orchestrated. It is not a CD-G, so if you put it in your karaoke machine you will just hear the accompaniment without any words appearing on the screen.

The songs were decent renditions of the stage versions of the songs. They have all of the verses from the libretto. "Be Our Guest" is a little slow compared to what you may expect. The other songs are about at the tempo you would expect.

The set comes with two CDs, one with vocals, one without. The voice talent on the vocal CD is so-so. Gaston is strong. Lumiere is a little weak. Belle is good.

One note- if you are going to rip the files to your computer... each of the two CDs in the set has identical file names for the songs. It can take a while to manually sort out the vocal versions from the instrumental versions if you rip both CDs, plus there is a problem with overwriting files (the files have the same names and are exactly the same size). I takes a little mucking about to get everything into mp3 format if you want to put them on your mp3 player.

Perfect Karaoke!
WOW!!! I love this album! It's perfect for karaoke night! The actors are pretty good and even though it doesn't come with any lyrics, fortunately it's pretty easy to learn the songs just by listening to the tracks with vocals! The instrumentals, like in The Little Mermaid Accompaniment (another great Stage Stars album), feel like it was recorded in an auditorium instead of a studio, so if you like that "performing on the stage feel," 2 thumbs up! This album has been largely entertaining me and my friends ever since I bought it! 5-stars for perfection! (Yes I know all of my sentences ended in an exclamation mark, but I'm doing all I can here to also not write in all caps.)
