Having seen the film I can tell you that unfortunately that gorgeous overture is not in it, but the cast is absolutely incredible. This version really fleshes out the backstories of Belle and the Beast and also provides a bit more relevance to the villagers.

If you're giving it away I'll gladly take it off your hands! :)
How is Eric in the role? I saw him in the Shrek tour years ago and thought he was excellent, but Dewey is a very different role both vocally and physically.

The student version only says AIDS once?
Yes, but I was referring to the current touring production, not the student version.
Say what you will about the show, but that has to be the one of the most fun numbers in any musical. The audience even joined in the performances I attended (which I would normally discourage, but for this kind of show it was more or less welcomed).
Does anyone know if they've made any edits or cuts to the script for this production? I have a friend that saw it last night in Costa Mesa and she told me that nearly all references to any of the characters having AIDS were removed. Namely, the following lines:
ANGEL: "This body provides a comfortable home for the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome."
