Mike Hulsebus Photography: Beauty and the Beast



Karen Hulsebus Belle Beauty and the Beast Musical

The Burns Park Players put on a show of Beauty and the Beast starring our one-and-only Karen Hulsebus as Belle. What follows are photos I took from my seat and video I didn't take. Because what's the use of seeing only pictures when you hear the music as well? Also, if you haven't seen it, I'm going to give away some plot.



Belle and Maurice


Le Fou, Gaston, and The Silly Girls


Gaston sings his own praises.


Beast laments being the Beast.


Belle is upset that the beast didn't even let her say goodbye to her father.


"Home"

Lumiere invites Belle to be his guest.


Cogsworth gets caught up in a kick line.




Gaston storms the castle and comes to kill the beast, stabbing him


Everyone's human again.


And they all lived happily ever after.


This little girl came up to Karen Belle after the show and asked for her autograph. She also asked if she liked the Beast and if they were going to get married. Belle said they were just dating for now.


"But Mike," you say, "I thought that Karen didn't have brown hair. In fact I heard that she got cool new bangs. Did she wear a wig for the play? If so, how could she style it well if it was on her head?"
