Audition Scripts

Here are the audition scripts you will need. Choose ONE, find a partner and get rehearsing! Remember, we are looking at how you show off your character. There aren't that many lines in any script, so you should be able to memorise them and not need them written down. Go for it, be animated, give it your all!!!!!

Script 1
Gaston and Le Fou (happens during the song ‘Belle’).

Lefou
You didn’t miss a shot Gaston. You’re the greatest hunter in the whole wide world.
Gaston
I know.
Lefou
No beast alive stands a chance against you! And no girl for that matter.
Gaston
It’s true, Lefou
(points to Belle)
And I’ve got my sights set on that one.
Lefou
The inventor’s daughter?
Gaston
She’s the lucky girl I’m going to marry.
Lefou
But, she’s ……
Gaston
The most beautiful girl in town.
Lefou
I know, but …….
Gaston
And don’t I deserve the best?
Lefou
Well, of course you do!



Script 2
Cogsworth and Lumiere. Intro to the song ‘Be Our Guest’ (Belle is hungry and wants dinner, but the Beast has said she isn’t allowed to eat unless it’s with him. Cogsworth wants to follow the Beast’s instructions…)

Cogsworth

Fine. Glass of water, crust of bread and then….
Lumiere
Cogsworth! She’s not a prisoner, she’s our guest! We must make her feel welcome here!
Cogsworth
All right, dinner. But keep it down! If the Master finds out, it’ll be our necks!
Lumiere
Of course…..of course! But what is dinner without a little music?
Cogsworth
Music?
Lumiere
Ma chere mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And how we invite you to relax. Let us pull up a chair as the Dining Room proudly presents…your dinner!



Script 3
Between Belle and the Beast. Belle has come to rescue her father from the castle and has just found him locked in a dungeon.

Belle
I won’t leave you here! (to Maurice)
(senses the Beast)
Who’s there?
(hears the beast panting)
I know someone’s there. Who are you?
Beast
The master of this castle.
Belle
Then, you’re the one who’s responsible for this! Release my father at once!
Beast
I do not take orders from anyone. Get out!
Belle
No! Wait! Forgive me. Please, let him out. Can’t you see he’s not well?
Beast
Then he should not have trespassed here.
Belle
But he’s an old man. He could die!
Beast
There’s nothing you can do!
Belle
Wait, please…..take me instead.
