Wireless Mic Rental for Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast is a big show. Big principal cast, big production numbers, big sets, and a two-and-a-half hour runtime. If you’re looking for wireless mic rental for Beauty and the Beast, the MicKit Perform 16 is the kit you need. It ships nationwide in one turnkey road case with sixteen receivers, bodypacks, elements, fresh batteries, and a laminated quick-start card. Roll it onto your stage, power it up, and start tech.

How many wireless mics does Beauty and the Beast need?

A full production mics twelve to sixteen principals:

• Belle — the lead, on stage nearly every scene
• Beast — carries “If I Can’t Love Her”
• Gaston — “Me” and the tavern scene
• LeFou — Gaston’s sidekick
• Maurice — Belle’s father
• Lumiere — “Be Our Guest”
• Mrs. Potts — “Beauty and the Beast” title song
• Cogsworth
• Babette — the feather duster
• Madame de la Grande Bouche — the wardrobe
• Chip — Mrs. Potts’s son
• Monsieur D’Arque — the asylum owner
• Silly Girls (three) — often sharing or rotating handoffs in the tavern

At minimum you need twelve, comfortably sixteen. School productions can tighten to the MicKit Perform 8 by sharing the Silly Girls on handoffs, but we don’t recommend it — the tavern scene and “Gaston” are too dense.

Recommended kit

Rent the MicKit Perform 16. Sixteen channels gives every principal their own pack and leaves room for handoff channels if you’re featuring ensemble dancers in “Be Our Guest.” This is the workhorse kit for Disney book shows.

Essential add-ons for this show:

• MicKit Premium Element — “Be Our Guest” is a production number with flying silverware, acrobatics, and full company belting. The GO-9WD element handles the energy. Worth every penny.
• MicKit Power — long run, lots of scene changes, kids forgetting to power down. Battery pack saves you.

Show-specific mic notes

Three things that bite Beauty and the Beast productions:

1. Beast’s prosthetic. Whatever prosthetic you’re using for the Beast, the mic element has to sit somewhere that doesn’t muffle through fur, fabric, or foam latex. Mount the element on the forehead if the wig allows, or route it under the prosthetic ear. Test EVERY mic position during tech — don’t assume. When in doubt, our mic placement guide walks through the three spots that actually work — forehead vs. over-ear for exactly this situation.

2. Lumiere’s flame hands. If your Lumiere has practical flame effects (LED or otherwise), the wiring can interfere with the bodypack if mounted on the waist. Tape the pack high on the back between the shoulder blades and route the element cable under the collar.

3. The transformation. Beast’s transformation at the end of Act 2 is a fast change with a spotlight and a reveal. Rent wireless mics for Beauty and the Beast with a plan for how you’re muting Beast’s channel during the transformation so nothing pops when they swap costumes. Brief the A2 on the exact cue.
