## Dan Stevens

His suit is jazzy. I actually really like it. This tour feels like he's trying to make sure people think of him as Personality Plus. The thing with Dan Stevens for me is: He's starting to become my Bitch Eating Crackers. I don't know when or where it turned for me, but everything I read about him leaving *Downton* made him sound a little big for his britches, and I really think *Legion* is pretentious and ponderous (which is not his fault, but he's the star, so it rubs off), and... you know how it is. Somehow the worm has turned here for me, so I look at this and I shrug and think, "Nice suit. Are you a SECRET JERK THOUGH?"

## Audra McDonald

At first here I thought she was wearing a big blue ribbon, but then I zoomed in, and now I've decided this was made by someone who designs leotards for rhythmic gymnasts.

## Josh Gad

I'll be curious to see how he is in the movie. I generally like Josh Gad better in voice-over work. I think it's because he started in theater, and you have to play to the back of the house when you do that, and it took him a while to modulate that on screens. He looks nice in his suit, though.

## Stanley Tucci

Of course Stanley Tucci is in this. I've developed a theory that Stanley Tucci is in EVERYTHING, even if we can't see him.

## Ian McKellen

Ian takes over Cogsworth from the great David Ogden Stiers (he also narrated, so I assume Ian will too, with that great voice of his). I wish they'd cast Patrick Stewart as Lumiere and then made THEM the gay characters. That would satisfy one very very large 'shipping base.

## Ewan McGregor

And then Heisenberg showed up.

[Dan Stevens and Everyone Else at the Latest Beauty and the Beast EventI have a super important question about this remake. Disclaimer: I love Emma Thompson and find her to be delightful in everything, and that may eventually extend to her singing "Beauty and the Beast" in her role as Mrs. Potts. I don't know; I've not heard it. But please explain to me why you cast Audra McFreakingDonald AS THE WARDROBE, when a) she would've made a lovely Mrs. Potts, during which b) SHE WOULD HAVE SUNG THE SHIT OUT OF 'BEAUTY AND THE BEAST' DURING THE DANCE AND WE ALL WOULD HAVE CRIED. In the original, I know Angela Lansbury did a gentler, more grandmotherly version so that Celine Dion could blow it out of the water later, and maybe they decided again not to have someone in the movie who could overshadow Ariana Grande's radio track. But... who cares about Ariana Grande? YOU HAVE AUDRA MCDONALD ON YOUR PAYROLL. GIVE HER THE SIGNATURE SONG. \[Photos: Getty\]![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2017/03/gettyimages-653021428-1489509319.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/dan-stevens-and-everyone-else-at-the-latest-beauty-and-the-beast-event-03-2017/)
