Who's Who

Hayley Motowski (MD)

as Belle

Hayley, a second year medical student, is delighted to perform in her first med school musical. Playing Belle is a dream come true for Hayley, who thanks her family for embracing and encouraging years of shower singing, living room dancing, and Disney princess watching. Hayley feels blessed in living out both her medical and artistic dreams and hopes to inspire the audience to live out theirs.
Chase Elwood (OT)

as Beast

Chase is grateful to be getting his OT degree at a med school with a musical! He is excited to be part of this unique production, beautiful story, and group of awesome people. Favorite credits include the American professional premiere of The Count of Monte Cristo (Albert u/s/ensemble) as well as Joseph... Technicolor Dreamcoat (Joseph/Simeon) and The Civil War (Nathaniel). Thank YOU for coming!
Jared James (MD)

as Gaston

Well, it's time to write a musical bio again. Let's see... 4th year WUMS... 3rd year doing the musical... excited, no, ecstatic to be playing Gaston... has really appreciated and enjoyed working and performing with so many amazing people during medical school. Broken legs all around!
Cody Clatyon Gardner (PT)

as Le Fou

Cody has been on stage (instrumental music, choral music, theater, dance, you name it) since sixth grade and still isn't sick of it. Cody aspires to work with a large theater or theater company treating performing artists following his graduation next May. Cody also really aspired to be cast as a wolf in this show, but that didn't exactly play out for him. He would have been the best wolf.
Weston McCarron (MD)

as Maurice

Weston, though roughly as old as Wash U Med School itself (*really* old), still loves to sing, dance and otherwise embarrass himself in public. In preparation for the big slingshot thong dance finale tonight, he has waxed his bikini zone, smoothed his thigh wrinkles with Bondo®, and slathered makeup over his butt pimples. So please feel free to put down the barf bag and "enjoy" the "show"!
