Casting "Ariel" in The Little Mermaid- Page 3

Posted: 3/7/06 at 10:46pm

I have the "On the Record" album and when Ashley Brown sings "Part of your World" I get goosebumps. She'd make an amazing Ariel.

Brian Stokes Mitchell for Sebastian. C'mon, you can hear it.

Or Ray Aranha. When I heard him as Newt Lee on the Parade recording, I thought he was the man who did the voice of Sebastian.

I have another name to throw in the hat:

Niki Scalera

Niki is currently understudying the role of Jane in Disney's Tarzan. My vocal teacher is her vocal teacher and basically her second mother so I found out some interesting news from her. Apperently the second night when Niki went on about 2 weeks ago the Disney brass came to see because they had heard great things about her. My vocal teacher says the buzz is that she is being considered to play Ariel. I know she is very talented and I think she could pull it off great. Just thought it was an interesting little bit of information to share!

I'll be stoned for this.

But for some reason...I see Laura Benanti in the role.

Whoever said Michelle Federer, I love you. Michelle needs more roles that she can show off that beautiful voice she has.

Kerry Butler and Michelle Federer are old enough to be Ariel's mother.

And neither look it.

Juliana Ashley Hansen

she is GORGEOUS and she sounds just like Ariel when she sings "Part of my World"
SOMEONE needs to discover this adorable, YOUNG talent. (she understudied Millie in the EQUITY Tour of TMM...amazing!)

"Kerry Butler and Michelle Federer are old enough to be Ariel's mother."

HAHAHA I was just thinking that, and Kerry is even older than Michelle.

I agree with what someone posted before. A newcomer would be very exciting! And I also can't think of a Broadway star who would be "perfect." We will see! Does anyone know if they're going to take the Denver cast to Broadway? Or will they cast again?

I'm surprised that no one's mentioned Mandy Moore.

I also thought about Annaliese Van Der Pol, she does have the Disney connection.

Amy Jo Johnson popped into my head, too. She doesn't seem to age.

Oh, I love this game, let's see how many Little Mermaid threads we can revive and have on the same page!!

Seriously folks, there's a thread on this topic started very recently that couldn't have gone far. Post in that one.
