The special will pay tribute to the original Disney Animation film, and honor its legacy by highlighting the fan-favorite movie, along with new musical performances.
"I think I'm staying true to who Belle was and I think I'm bringing it out more," said H.E.R. "She had such a strength and a bravery about her and I really want people to see that in this version." "When you think about it, myself, Martin Short, Rita Moreno, Joshua Henry, we're all from a strong theater background. This is not new to us," said David Alan Grier. "We do these huge songs.
