            With just under two weeks to go until the live-action Beauty and the Beast film is unveiled to audiences everywhere, Disney has released another clip from the movie featuring Josh Gad as LeFou and Luke Evans as Gaston singing “Gaston”!

            The trailers and images that have been revealed over the past few months have had people clamoring to see this movie but in my opinion, these clips have been the best things I’ve seen thus far. Since they’re actual clips from the film itself, it’s a great sign for Disney that they kept the spirit of the original animated film within the aesthetic of the live action version. When Gad was cast as LeFou it was an instant money maker and perfect casting. He has the musical chops as he originated the lead character of Elder Arnold Cunningham in the Broadway musical, The Book of Mormon and has even the look down for the vexing supporting character. Evans sure does have the look down as well and though we only get a little taste of how he sounds, it’s noticeably different from the deeper singing voice but is refreshing.

            Check out the clip below of LeFou and Gaston singing “Gaston”! The film stars Gad, Evans, Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Kevin Kline, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Audra McDonald, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ian McKellen and Emma Thompson. Beauty and the Beast opens in theaters on March 17^th.
