This culminates in the most well-known musical number from the show \u201cBeauty and the Beast,\u201d as sung by Mrs. Potts. TheatreWorld Backdrops\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/backdrops\/baroque-windows-016-00070\">BAROQUE WINDOWS<\/a> allow for the light of true love to shine through and into our hearts; a perfect fit for a grand ballroom.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1998\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/backdrops\/baroque-windows-016-00070\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1998\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1998 size-full\" title=\"Baroque Windows Scenic Backdrop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WM-Baroque-Windows-Scenic-Backdrop-e1596745299910.jpg\" alt=\"Victorian Ruby Curtains Professional Scenic Header\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1998\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Baroque Windows Scenic Backdrop<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Enchantment:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As the story goes, Gaston hatches a plan to kill the Beast and rile up the villagers. They all go to attack the enchanted castle and are ultimately defeated by its&nbsp;denizens. Beast is struck a mortal wound, but ultimately triumphs over Gaston. Belle sees the Beast lying on the floor, goes to his side, and as the original story goes:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;How wicked I am&#8217;, she said to herself &#8216;to make a Beast suffer so when he has been so kind to me\u2026 It is neither good looks nor wit in a husband which makes his wife content; it is goodness of character, virtue and obligingness, and the Beast has all these good qualities\u2026'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She professes her love and magically, the curse is lifted, and the Prince is restored.<\/p>\n<p>As the director, it is your choice which backdrop to use for this triumphant moment. Choose the last drop featured here,&nbsp;the BAROQUE WINDOWS, to truly highlight&nbsp;the moment where Belle\u2019s love breaks the enchantment. Alternately, use&nbsp;just the scrim with a festival of lights. Either way, this moment should be powerfully epic.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I would use the first backdrop (ENCHANTED LIVE OAK) as it was the original enchanted view and I\u2019m a sucker for storybook endings that bring the audience full-circle. If you have the ability, during the transformation itself, drop the backdrop \u2013 let the enchantment fall to the stage and disappear into the fog. (Please be gentle on our backdrops, though.) You can even let the BAROQUE WINDOWS be revealed at that point, brightly lit and with the Prince restored.&nbsp; TheatreWorld Backdrops\u2019 collection for Beauty and the Beast will enable you to present your imagery in a variety of styles and approaches to enhance your vision of this classic masterpiece.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Happily Ever After:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This entire story pushes the audience to look deeper and to go beyond the surface of their given reality. In that same token, don\u2019t limit yourself to staging and design just because this is a Disney story and has been done a certain way. Be creative, try something new, increase the mystical factor, and show a decisive difference between Gaston and Beast in more than just looks.<\/p>\n<p>Make your performance unique and stand out from the masses. Embrace the Beast.&nbsp; Please visit TheatreWorld Backdrops\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/customer-spotlight\">Customer Spotlight<\/a> page to see multiple scenic approaches to presenting Beauty and the Beast.&nbsp; Our team would be happy to assist you with your stage or themed event backdrop selections, so please call or chat with our team at your convenience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Going Beyond the Script Beauty and the Beast Backdrops and Scenic Perspectives The beloved tale of Beauty and the Beast is set in an enchanted world where true love overcomes curses and reality is more than skin-deep.
