Excitement is in the air as the Audubon High School is putting on Beauty and the Beast for their fall musical, and it will be showing on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 7:00 p.m. Band director Mr. Bob Hoffmann and chorus teacher Mrs. Lisa Coder, who students have been working well with, are directing the musical.
Senior Ashley Hansen said that she “liked working with them because they both have a lot of ideas for the musical.” For some students it is their last year but for others, such as junior Mitchell Nelsen, it’s their exciting first year.
Nelsen, who has the part of Lumiere, said, “The Musical will be just as successful and entertaining,” as ones prior to this year’s. A lot of students are most excited to just get up and preform a show that others will enjoy, such as Hansen who got the role of Mrs. Pots. Students are especially excited about the fancy costumes, one of the favorites is Lumiere’s costume.
Nelsen said that he likes how everyone fits their part and how the costumes really add to that effect. So far, students in the play can’t quite decide what part of the musical they like the best as they practice since they haven’t seen the entire musical, but Nelsen said he likes how the lines and relationships of the main character really fit together well. The students involved with the musical felt that overall the cast and the script is great, but everyone still needs a little more work before the performance and then it will be a sight worth watching.
