Halle completely makes the song her own, she really ACTS it and a lot of her acting choices compliment the riff at the end. There’s one particular part she belts that isn’t usually belted and it’s STUNNING.Personally, I’m glad she’s done something different and quite unique. She’s going to be a stunning Ariel, one we haven’t seen before."I watched the video leak which goes from "gir...

RippedMan said: "Anyone hating on her riff is probably a vocalist who can't riff and therefore doesn't understand how it can add to any sort of characterization. (Example: See "I'm Here" Color Purple"I am a vocalist but I can riff, I just think it’s out of place where she put it.

Full cast was in for anyone tracking, and since I last saw the show 7/9 everyone’s characters feel more lived in in a really great way. My first time seeing BDJ and I thought he was just spectacular. It also made me appreciate Jason Forbach’s Baker too, so different but both equally wonderful."Totally agree about everyone’s characters feeling more lived in! I saw the show on 7/8 and went again on 8/21 and th...

Anyone with august tickets I feel your pain, I had tickets for mid-August as well. I am from NY but am currently living in SoCal and can't change my plans for just one show - really heartbroken though. This was the thing I was excited for most other than Into the Woods. Honestly shocked that it's closing after all its Tony wins.
