Yes I know, I'm really excited to see the show live for the first time! :)

I missed the show the last time it was in The Netherlands.

I also really like the new logo they're using, to differentiate it from the last Dutch production.

I sure hope that fan artist was compensated, seeing as this is a commercial for-profit production

I've never seen the stage version (besides the WDW show + a kids' theater one); did the objects' costumes slightly change throughout the show?
In the movie, the enchantress places a spell onto the Beast and turns everyone in the castle into objects. In the musical, she only starts them on the course of transforming as the petals fall off the rose. And once we figured that out, everything changed.”

Yes. For example, Lumiere starts with normal hands (or maybe just regular candles), then at some point he gets candles (or candles that now light up) instead. I know there are other examples but it's been too long.

It's still one of my favorite pieces of Disney trivia that Susan Egan didn't herself see the animated Beauty and the Beast until after she had been cast.

Anyways, I still need to see some version of this "wordsmithed" and "modernized" update to the show to gauge whether it was they just Emma Watsoned all the joy out of the story.

I saw the UK tour and the character is almost the same. I didn't see much changes on Belle.
