"The Barter Players have more than outdone themselves with Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Jr. That is thanks, in large part, to its star, Zoë Velling, who portrays Belle with a flawless combination of a singing voice powerful enough to reduce you to tears of soul-stirring admiration and an acting ability of equal excellence. In particular, the song “Home,” ...was delivered by the future superstar with show-stopping force. With this performance, Velling is well on her way to having her name etched among the most legendary members of Barter history."
