question: Hvem spillede belle i animationen af skønheden og udyret?
answers.text: Paige O'Hara
context: Beauty and the Beast (musical)
  Broadway-producenter er normalt ivrige efter at besætte deres musicals med store navne, men Katzenberg, der på det tidspunkt var berømt for at undgå at arbejde med skuespillere af en sådan kaliber, besluttede sig imod denne praksis i forbindelse med Beauty and the Beast. Eisner konkluderede, at de fleste af filmens oprindelige stemmeskuespillere ville have for travlt til at gentage deres roller på scenen. Den dengang 22-årige skuespillerinde Susan Egan fik sin Broadway-debut som den oprindelige Belle i musicalen. Egan, som endnu ikke havde set filmen, havde på det tidspunkt været til audition for flere andre Broadway-projekter - nemlig My Fair Lady, Carousel og Grease - som hun var langt mere interesseret i. Selv om skuespillerinden længtes efter at få en Broadway-rolle, var hun i første omgang tilbageholdende med at gå til audition til Beauty and the Beast, fordi hun mente, at "det var en forfærdelig idé, at Disney skulle sætte en tegnefilm på Broadway". Derudover følte Egan, at hun ikke var attraktiv nok til at spille en karakter, der blev udråbt som "den smukkeste pige i landsbyen", men hendes agent formåede at overbevise hende om det modsatte. Uden nogen film at referere til, fandt Egan ud af, at Belle skulle være en "skæv" karakter, og hun greb hende sjovere an end den måde, hun er skildret i filmen, hvilket til gengæld skabte latter hos producenterne - som var morsomme over hendes unikke fortolkning - og i sidste ende gav hende flere callbacks. I mellemtiden blev hendes konkurrenter på 500 skuespillerinder, hvoraf mange blot imiterede stemmeskuespillerinden Paige O'Haras originale optræden, fortsat elimineret.

  Broadway producers are usually eager to cast big-named performers in their musicals, but Katzenberg, famous at the time for avoiding working with actors of such caliber, decided against this practice for Beauty and the Beast. Eisner concluded that most of the film's original voice actors would be too busy to reprise their roles onstage. In her Broadway debut, then-22-year-old actress Susan Egan was cast as the musical's original Belle. Egan, who had not yet seen the film, had been auditioning for several other Broadway projects at the time – namely My Fair Lady, Carousel and Grease – in which she was much more interested. Despite longing to originate a Broadway role, the actress was initially reluctant to audition for Beauty and the Beast because she thought that "it was a terrible idea for Disney to put a cartoon on Broadway." Additionally, Egan felt she was not attractive enough to play a character touted "the most beautiful girl in the village", but her agent managed to convince her otherwise. Without any film to reference, Egan determined that Belle is supposed to be a "quirky" character and approached her funnier than how she is depicted in the film, in turn garnering laughs from the producers – who were amused by her unique interpretation – and eventually earning several callbacks. Meanwhile, her competition of 500 actresses, many of whom were simply offering imitations of voice actress Paige O'Hara's original performance, continued to be eliminated.
