“In ‘Gaston,’ we had a treasure trove of lyrics that Howard had written, but we didn’t put in the movie. In many cases, they were a little bit bawdy—not sexually bawdy, but emotionally bawdy. We All ready for the lyrics. When Bill found out about them, he said, “Oh my god, can we take a look at this because it’s going to be a great way to add that extra freshness to the movie. ’ So, yeah, you’re going to hear some unheard Howard Ashman lyrics.”

Fans of the original may recall that “Gaston” is basically a song in which a rather obnoxious Gaston laments about his prowess in hunting, eating eggs, and seducing women. It’s a fun, quirky song designed to make the audience immediately aware of why Bella keeps prodding his advances. While the exact nature of these “indecent” lyrics isn’t explained, it does sound like they’ll enhance the film and provide more substance to Gaston and LeFou’s characters.evans pointed out “for [audience members] I think most people are very familiar with the songs and you get to hear some new lines, which is really special. ”

Beyond that, in another rather exciting addition, Condon hints at another Ashman lyric that would fit elsewhere in the movie: “It was a surprise at the end. I don’t want to reveal that, but we found out that it’s a really gorgeous lyric.” Glad Ashman’s previously unused lyrics could be used, and it sounds like his words will only enhance what’s already set to be an amazing movie.
