Any suggestions for constructing Chip's cart for Beauty and the Beast? I would also entertain a rental of the cart (and Maurice's invention) if your theater is nearby.)

Hi Tammy,
the script does not call for the old magician's trick of using slanted mirrors under chips cart. But many people like to use it. I just used a small catering cart with a bed skit around it and it worked fine. The boy sat on a tiny stool and could rotate around. The coffee cup head was rented.
Here is a photo. http://www.lowell.to/posters/Beast41.jpg
But if you want the mirror effect, there are other topic threads on this forum that discuss the construction of it. And maybe someone still has their's for sale.
For the father's invention I borrowed a "HoverRound" electric scooter and built a simple box over it with various gadgets and logs.
And inside was a chorus girl who "chopped wood".
Good luck, Dana
