Ok, so so far we know that Broadwayguy is playing King Triton and Sherie Renee Scott will be on Roller Skates.
Or did I completely miss the point of the thread?

Sherie as Ursula!! as if anything couldn't have made me want to see this show more!!
Now pick a hottie to play Eric and I might die.
Screw up casting for Ariel and I'll be more dangerous than....danger.
and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...

We should all probably cool our jets.
Remeber Ashley wasn't officially announced as Poppins till 2 or 3 weeks after it actually happened.
So sometime in January the official notice will go up.

I'm pulling & voting for Kerry Butler to be Ariel.
I heard from somewhere that Pat Carroll was going tp be cast as the voice for the Ursula Puppet or maybe she pulled out or something
Any ideas which theatre the show would go to on Broadway?

First of all, I love Kerry Butler, but hearing her sing this score was PAINFUL.

That's sad, BroadwayGuy, because I was always hopeful for her...
But like how did she do it badly? Did she belt it or somehting? I just don't want them to opt for a big Broadway belter. I want someone with a Disney voice...
Sorry, Little Mermaid is my fave disney movie and I just want it to be perfection :)

It's just not very good. You should track down the professional demo. It's pretty easily found.
I hate to break it to you all, but unless they've re-written the score, everything that wasn't in the movie is kind of awful (except for "Her Voice").

Butler just sounded squeeky and whiney on the demo..
some of the new material IS/WAS pretty.. um.. weird.
#94updates on little mermaid??
Posted: 12/23/06 at 3:43pmAs whiney and nasal as Butler sounded on the demo, I'm ashamed to admit that I did enjoy her rendition of "Part of Your World."
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

i agree that kerry butler left a little to be desired and that the score was not as amazing...why two songs for the bird? but with all this talk of a flounder song there must be some changes...sherie renee scott as ursula? i dont understand...y does ursula have to play her transformed self...thats just dumb...ursula is old, fat, and has an over the top voice...her transformed self is thin, "beautiful," and has ariels voice...i hate recordings on stage so why not have ariel's understudy play the transformed ursula...theyll probably have similar voices and could avoid recordings. i just want ursula to be done the way she should...if she plays both roles...then neither role will be done right...and skating??? i dunno about that...
crossin my fingers for this one...they only get one chance to not screw it up....
