Susan
Egan is a natural beauty as Belle.
She exudes freshness and intimacy ....
Egan’s Belle reminds you that ... this is a heroine you can
care about.

Susan
Egan deserves great credit for making Belle more tart than sweet.

Egan
makes the most of (Belle). It’s
an intelligent, balanced realization of a character that could
easily be too cloyingly cute. And
Egan has the other prerequisites for musical theatre stardom she
sings and dances excellently.

Susan
Egan
is a terrific, relaxed Belle, exactly what is needed to bring
the show down to size.
Her bell-like voice and deadpan reactions to Gaston lend the
show a welcome lightness of touch.

Susan
Egan is a particular delight: she captures the courage and spontaneity
of what is among the best ingénue roles in musical theatre history
and she has a crisp, clear voice that is perfect for the Broadway
stage.
