Jerry Orbach and Angela Lansbury Record ‘Be Our Guest’ to a Live Orchestra In a Clip From ‘Howard’

In 1991, veteran actors Jerry Orbach (Law and Order) and Angela Lansbury (Murder She Wrote) recorded the Beauty and the Beast song “Be Our Guest” on separate tracks, accompanied by a live orchestra.

This scene is from the highly anticipated Don Hahn documentary entitled Howard, which pays tribute to Howard Ashman, the late playwright, musician, and lyricist who, along with his writing partner Alan Menken, was a big part of the Disney Renaissance.

Howard Ashman was the song writer and creative force behind Little Shop of Horrors and some of the greatest hits of the Disney Animation Renaissance: The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. Oscar nominated film maker Don Hahn explore’s Ashman’s life and work
