And she can still hit those high notes like queen! I was born the year she played belle on Broadway but I watch the RUclips videos all the time. What a treat for those people to hear her live! Thanks for putting it up for the rest of us
This is actually my favorite thing that anyone has ever done in the history of life. Susan Egan singing "How Does A Moment Last Forever?" #Dead #Thankful
she's such an awesome person too - I was fortunate enough enough meet and interview her at a con and she was so sweet when I got lost and was late to the interview
Thanks Benjamin for doing this. I always wondered when BATB ended on broadway back in 2007 why Susan never got the full respect and reputation for being the first Disney Princess on Stage. Now she has after such a climate change on broadway with more princess shows, people now discover her amazing talent and portfolio.!
I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was a future Broadway revival of BATB that included the new songs from the live action movie. I was skeptical when I heard they were added new songs but I ended up loving all three for different reasons.
I had the honor of meeting and performing with her and it was one of the best experiences of my life! And now I get to play Belle! She's such an inspiration and I am still in awe of her talent now. Yay Susan!❤️
This was a religious experience!! I listened to the Beauty and the Beast OCR a million times growing up. I love that Susan's voice still gives me shivers after 23 years!!!
Megara from Hercules is all I knew her as - "I Won't Say I'm In Love" is one of my very favourite Disney tunes. It was a joy to learn that she had played Belle on Broadway, and took some of the sting out of her not having her own "solo" Disney Princess song ;-)
Cried pretty much the whole way through... and the end with Christy, Laura, Courtney and the others just gave me chills. Gosh I LOVE Susan Egan! She played two of my favorite Disney characters of all time😍♥️
Benjamin Rauhala you're such a blessing for all of us ! Thank you so much for sharing your work with us and please never stop these beautiful projects!
The ending of this is so moving where they all sing together!to her!And to see all the princesses looking up to Susan the same way most little girls in the audience wearing Disney princess dresses would look up to her! ....Okay...Now off to the theatre now with you ladies...it's past your call time! 😇👸
Aaww that's so sad! She's my favorite princess! But you and Laura are doing such a great job with The Princess Party that I'm sure she will have other opportunities to make up for it!
I cried! I loved this!! I've been a fan of Beauty and The Beast since I was like 3 years old. Beautiful story and insanely BEAUTIFUL score!! Wow!!! Susan killed it!!
Omg! Where did this come from! Thank whatever gods assembled this. I got to see James Barbour on Broadway as the beast but missed Susan Egan. I've kept a VOS copy of her singing on a Disney on ice special with James Barbour. A copy is on RUclips, if you haven't seen it got must.
i mean yeah i could cry *types through tears*, it took me way to long to realize where i recognized her voice and OMG SHE GOT TO PLAY AN ICONIC DISNEY CHARACTER TWICE I’M SO JEALOUS WOW
I would have been more willing to suspend my disbelief and have her play Belle in the live action film than watch Emma Watson in the role. I love Emma Watson, but a broadway voice isn't something that can be made in three months of voice classes.
Sarah If ABC ever does a live television production of the Broadway show (which I personally think we should've gotten instead of an unnecessary live action remake), they should really go for an unknown.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly! I would have also loved that for the film, this was just comparative to Emma Watson, who again, is a phenomenal actress and person, but this just wasn't a huge win for her in my eyes. Susan Egan could play Mrs. Potts in a live tv event ;)
That was my one major critique: I wish Emma Watson was a better singer. Her acting was perfectly fine, but her voice sounded like it was played on a keyboard.
This is amazing Beauty and the Beast was my very Broadway show as a kid my parents where worried id be too loud and annoy people but i sat still and quiet as could be that was just the 1st of so many shows since then and started my love for musicals
Beauty and the beast was my first broadway show I’ve ever saw. It was for my 6th birthday. It was that show that caused me to fall in love with Theatre.
That's was awesome! Now if only you can get Paige O'Hara to come in to sing that 'How Does a Moment Last Forever' reprise then you can say you've completed the cycle. ;)
Susan Egan vs autotuned movie version. Susan Egans wins by a thousand miles.
couldnt have said it better myself
That "Honey I'm working" Sounded so much like Meg!!!
yes I know, its awesome/weird cuz she's playing 2 of my favorite disney characters!!
Catalina Espinoza because she is ths voice of megara...
yes i love it
Thought just the same!
I’m also a huge meg fan!
9:08: Seeing Cinderella, Belle, and Anastasia side by side gave me chills. Love Laura, Susan, and Christy.
Michael I. Haber i love three women
Yes! Same!
Can we also appreciate she was the voice of Meg in Hercules 😍😍
And she can still hit those high notes like queen! I was born the year she played belle on Broadway but I watch the RUclips videos all the time. What a treat for those people to hear her live! Thanks for putting it up for the rest of us
Susan Egan is Thee Best Belle! She needed to do a Menken medley with Sierra Boggess, Courtney Reed and the original stage Esmerelda.
yes susan egan is definitely the best belle
Yesssss
Benj you are really a fairy god fairy for granting us this!
agreed!! I love him for all the "parties" he organizes, he's amazing!!
BEAUTIFUL, she's still got it:) Hearing her sing "How does a Moment Last Forever" truly has been a real SLICE (to coin a Hercules phrase)
I love how her meg voice comes out when she says ‘shhh, honey I’m working’. 4:20
Don't mind me just crying my eyes out over here in the corner. That was so beautiful!
so agree. She still sings beautifully
Agreed!! No dry eyes here. Fantastic performance.
This is actually my favorite thing that anyone has ever done in the history of life. Susan Egan singing "How Does A Moment Last Forever?" #Dead #Thankful
Lord and Lady, that was beautiful. I was crying before she finished the first verse of "Home"
awe i remember seeing her on broadway as Belle..she was amazing!!
she's such an awesome person too - I was fortunate enough enough meet and interview her at a con and she was so sweet when I got lost and was late to the interview
Christy losing it at the end is the best part hahahahahahah. Love all of these girls!
Can we have a revival with Laura as Belle and Susan as Mrs. Potts???
OMG YES PLEASE
Please, let's!!!!
Susan Egan is a national treasure!
I'm not crying what are you talking about
I love how mesmerized Christy looks (Susan sounds freaking amazing too)
How did I not see this until now?!?! Susan Egan is a goddess.
I love Susan Egan so muchhhh!
Thanks Benjamin for doing this. I always wondered when BATB ended on broadway back in 2007 why Susan never got the full respect and reputation for being the first Disney Princess on Stage. Now she has after such a climate change on broadway with more princess shows, people now discover her amazing talent and portfolio.!
Wanna see her sing something there! My fav song of all time
I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was a future Broadway revival of BATB that included the new songs from the live action movie. I was skeptical when I heard they were added new songs but I ended up loving all three for different reasons.
I had the honor of meeting and performing with her and it was one of the best experiences of my life! And now I get to play Belle! She's such an inspiration and I am still in awe of her talent now. Yay Susan!❤️
I feel you Christy! I'm not even there but I'm emotional just as much!!
This was a religious experience!! I listened to the Beauty and the Beast OCR a million times growing up. I love that Susan's voice still gives me shivers after 23 years!!!
When everyone came on it felt like it came straight out of a movie, that was truly magical
I love at the end of beauty and the beast when she says "off to the theatre with you now ladies! It's past your call time." 👏🏻👌❤️❤️❤️❤️
Isnt she Meg from Hercules?
You bet she is!
and rose quartz!
And Angel in Lady and the Tramp 2!
She was also the teacher/cheer coach in Gotta Kick It Up
Megara from Hercules is all I knew her as - "I Won't Say I'm In Love" is one of my very favourite Disney tunes. It was a joy to learn that she had played Belle on Broadway, and took some of the sting out of her not having her own "solo" Disney Princess song ;-)
Cried pretty much the whole way through... and the end with Christy, Laura, Courtney and the others just gave me chills. Gosh I LOVE Susan Egan! She played two of my favorite Disney characters of all time😍♥️
Wow. That would have been amazing to see live. Benjamin I know it's not possible, but offer a DVD and Album and they would sell out.
Wow, i can't believe I cried listening to her singing. She's such an experienced vocalist, every pitch she hits it hits the spot, this is my ASMR.
Benjamin Rauhala you're such a blessing for all of us ! Thank you so much for sharing your work with us and please never stop these beautiful projects!
The ending of this is so moving where they all sing together!to her!And to see all the princesses looking up to Susan the same way most little girls in the audience wearing Disney princess dresses would look up to her! ....Okay...Now off to the theatre now with you ladies...it's past your call time! 😇👸
if you were a true susan fan, shes made that beauty and the beast speech so many times word for word. i love it more and more every single time💘
Susan Egan’s singing voice still sounds the same. I’m impressed.
I LOVE YOU SUSAN EGAN!!!! lol and it was great to see her in person
Christy Altomare's face is me.
Aaand now I'm crying 😭😭😭😭 what a beautiful celebration!!! 💜💜
Gosh darn it... I'm not crying, I'm not crying! Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Broadway's Belle. It is just beautiful!!
Why isn't there an option to LOVE this?! Thumbs up don't do it justice..
THIS MADE MY HEART MELT
What beautiful performances ♥️
This is so perfect! The only thing missing is Kara Lindsay. Her dream role is Belle, she would have been so happy to meet Susan!!
Violetta Sele I know! She had rehearsal for a "Wicked" press event that morning and it was the SADDEST.
Aaww that's so sad! She's my favorite princess! But you and Laura are doing such a great job with The Princess Party that I'm sure she will have other opportunities to make up for it!
I cried! I loved this!! I've been a fan of Beauty and The Beast since I was like 3 years old. Beautiful story and insanely BEAUTIFUL score!! Wow!!! Susan killed it!!
I AM CRYING
As soon as she started singing I felt it in my heart. This was perfect, thank you.
Omg! Where did this come from! Thank whatever gods assembled this. I got to see James Barbour on Broadway as the beast but missed Susan Egan. I've kept a VOS copy of her singing on a Disney on ice special with James Barbour. A copy is on RUclips, if you haven't seen it got must.
that ending was so beautiful! !! ugh crying.
When Susan Egan follows you back on Twitter 😍😭😍😭😍😭😍😭 I'm still crying and can't believe it 😭😍 I just love her
I was NOT expecting all of them to pop up and I just teared up omg
What a treat! Thank you both for arranging this for all your Broadway Princessette's!
Literally had chills when Susan started singing "Belle"
So so beautiful!
i mean yeah i could cry *types through tears*, it took me way to long to realize where i recognized her voice and OMG SHE GOT TO PLAY AN ICONIC DISNEY CHARACTER TWICE I’M SO JEALOUS WOW
This was incredible! Paige O'Hara did a wonderful job in the original film but I always preferred Susan Egan's Belle. Thank you so much for sharing!
I would have been more willing to suspend my disbelief and have her play Belle in the live action film than watch Emma Watson in the role. I love Emma Watson, but a broadway voice isn't something that can be made in three months of voice classes.

Disney GleekQueen yes! Samantha Barks!!!
That was my one major critique: I wish Emma Watson was a better singer. Her acting was perfectly fine, but her voice sounded like it was played on a keyboard.
BINGO. I agree completely. Hire the voice and the talent, not the "name."
Courtney's face while watching Susan sing is all of us.
She might be the age of Mrs Potts now but her voice is as youthful as ever
This is actual magic
And the other princesses as the ensemble. My life's complete.
Her voice is so beautiful😍
Susan Egan is my favourite Belle!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Truly a tale as old as time...
Im so glad its back
AMAZING!!! HER VOICE AND HER STORIES RIGHT BEFORE SINGING BELLE MADE ME TEAR UP!!!
this gives me so much joy. the princess that started it all...
Christy Altimore is such a mood bc honestly, I’d be ready to cry too; if not already sobbing through singing
This is just so beautiful. Even shed a few tears
My childhood self is making my current self bawl over this. I hurt and thank you
This was so magical! It was so cool to see the original Belle singing all of the songs from Beauty and the Beast! Thank you so much Benjamin!
this will never not be magical
oh excuse me while I cry my eyes out (thanks for sharing this on youtube!)
This is amazing Beauty and the Beast was my very Broadway show as a kid my parents where worried id be too loud and annoy people but i sat still and quiet as could be that was just the 1st of so many shows since then and started my love for musicals
Gosh I’m crying so much this is pure perfection BRAVO
This is so. precious. THANK YOU!
I could just listen to her singing all day. Please make this available as an album or mp3 for us.
Oh my god you guys, you made me cry really hard...
Beauty and the beast was my first broadway show I’ve ever saw. It was for my 6th birthday. It was that show that caused me to fall in love with Theatre.
Beautiful
That's was awesome! Now if only you can get Paige O'Hara to come in to sing that 'How Does a Moment Last Forever' reprise then you can say you've completed the cycle. ;)
I'm so glad she sang "Home." That's my favorite song from the Broadway musical, but it does not get much love.
Omg this was so amazing watch!!! Loved every second of it
I cried again
I'm crying!!!!
This was so pure and wholesome I got emotional!
That was so beautiful!
