“Danny Gardner brings delightful physicality to Lumière, balancing his roles as Belle’s charming host and Beast’s loyal advisor.” - Buffalo Rising.com by Peter Hall
“The secondary characters of the household items are all real gems and the troupe is led by the captivating Danny Gardner as Lumiere, our candelabra. Gardner is charming and suave, extolling his lines with a wonderful French accident. But nothing will ever compare to the eye-popping spectacle of his main musical number, "Be Our Guest." It appears this version has augmented the song, and it builds to a frenzied climax with full on tap dancing and awe inspiring lighting that ends with an audience ovation that made it clear this was a true show stopper.” - Broadway World Buffalo - Michael Rabice

"...most notably the charming valet cum candelabra, Lumiere (the scene-stealing Danny Gardner), and the fussy butler/clock combo, Cogsworth, lent silly sparkle by Javier Ignacio." - Rob Hubbard St. Paul Pioneer Press
"Refreshed and expanded by director and choreographer Matt West, “Be Our Guest” is now a tap-tastic, 10-minute dance sequence with smooth moves, colorful costume changes and captivating vigor. This showstopper drew a well-earned standing ovation Wednesday at the Orpheum Theatre, where the musical runs through Aug. 17." - Rohan Preston Minneapolis Star Tribune.

"Danny Gardner is a burst of energy as Lumière, the French valet turning into a candelabra. He also leads such a show-stopping rendition of ‘Be Our Guest,’ which includes some excellent tap dancing." - Jeffery Kare Broadwayworld Raleigh

"Danny Gardner was the perfect French sidekick. He not only brought the classic charm in a flirtatious attitude that Lumiere has in the movie, but he also made him very funny and charismatic. The showstopping rendition of our guest is always a highlight of Beauty and the Beast, but this production had some special features that I've never seen before, which you cannot miss with this national tour." - Emily Shenk
