Link: The Scatters, beautiful and beastly
By Bob Hicks
Through a series of coincidences too complicated to describe, Mr. and Mrs. Scatter spent Valentine’s Day evening at the opening performance of the latest touring version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Mr. Scatter then wrote his impressions of the production for The Oregonian; you can read them here.
It may come as no surprise to you that Mrs. Scatter assumed the role of Beauty while in attendance, and Mr. Scatter stayed in character as Beast. Among other things, it was pleasant to see all the little girls in the audience in their party dresses and hair-bows, paying rapt attention: It was like The Nutcracker with mirrors and fangs. The chocolates and Cognac after the show were lovely, too.

Great article. And right next to it in the paper version of the Oregonian is Marty Hughley’s article on productions soon to be at the Keller. Mrs. Scatter will see my post on Facebook but you might not so here it is:
Voice from the Couch wondered how they could make a musical about The Book of Mormon. My immediate response was that it was just a soap opera. So we just watched this and laughed so hard… listen to find out what God did in 1978. I hope you review this production.
