Josh Groban, Rita Moreno and Joshua Henry have been added to the 'Beauty and the Beast: 30th Anniversary Special.'
Back in early July, ABC announced that this December the network would air for one night only a 2-hour Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Anniversary Special. During a panel at D3 Expo, also known as the “Ultimate Disney Fan Event”, a few more names who will take part in the special have been revealed.
Portraying the main role of the cursed prince turned lonesome beast is multi-award winner Josh Groban. Groban was awarded his first Grammy of four in 2005, a Tony in 2017, and an Emmy in 2019. The actor, singer, and songwriter is known for possessing a very recognizable singing voice. His albums have sold over 35 million globally. Among his most recognized albums in the industry are the six-time platinum Closer, the also six-time platinum Noël, and the two-time platinum Awake.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Playing Gaston, the narcissistic antagonist of the classical Disney tale, is Joshua Henry. Henry starred as Aaron Burr in the immensely popular historical musical Hamilton and, on the non-musical side of the acting industry, starred as Jerlamarel in the Jason Momoa-led Apple TV dystopian series See. Henry was nominated thrice for a Tony Award, first in 2011, then in 2014, and most recently in 2018.
Another member of the cast who had been previously announced is H.E.R. who will be playing the kindhearted bookworm Belle. Other members of the cast have yet to be announced, including roles like Mrs Potts, Cogsworth, and Lumière. Jon M. Chu is executive producing with Hamish Hamilton as director. The special is produced by Done+Dusted, Walt Disney Television Alternative and Electric Somewhere.
Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Anniversary Special, which brings together animation and live-action for the ultimate tribute to the beloved tale as old as time, will air Thursday, December 15 at 8 pm EST on ABC. The special will be hitting the streaming service Disney+ the following day.
