Josh Groban has revealed a first look at his Beast costume for tomorrow's Beauty & the Beast: A 30th Celebration on ABC.

"We didn't want to go prosthetic. We've seen the mask when you go to the theme park. How can you portray The Beast in a way that it becomes a living, breathing piece," Groban shared.

Check out a video of Groban and the giant puppet in action below, including footage of his first time seeing it.
