“Is this home? Am I here for a day or forever? Shut away from the world until who knows when.”
On April 26, 1994, the Original Broadway Cast Recording for the musical version of the hit film Beauty and the Beast was released through Walt Disney Records. The recording included the talents of Susan Egan as Belle, Terrence Mann as Beast, Burke Moses as Gaston, Gary Beach as Lumiere, and Beth Fowler as Mrs. Potts. The album contains all the songs performed in the musical, except for “A Change in Me,” a song that was added to the production in 1998 for Toni Braxton while she played Belle. Many new songs were added to the production in the process of adapting it to the stage, including “Me,” sung by Gaston; “Home,” sung by Belle; “How Long Must This Go On?” sung by Beast; “If I Can’t Love Her,” sung by Beast; “Human Again,” which was a song written for, and cut from, the original film; and “Maison des Lunes,” sung by Gaston, LeFour, and Monsieur D’Arque.
