Wednesday night, in my Showbill for Mary Poppins, there was an insert regarding The Little Mermaid. My initial reaction was "Great, Disney's advertising their own shows..." But, when I read the insert, I was surprised further. Here's what it said:
Your chance for a live sneak peek! Join us for the taping of a live TV show! We invite you and your guests to be a part of this exciting behind-the-scenes experience! See scenes from Disney's new Broadway musical The Little Mermaid to be used for a national television program.
What do you think this "national television program" is? Is this playing off of what Legally Blonde did? I'm very curious... Any insight?
My guess is that there is going to be some kind of special airing right around the show's opening on either ABC or the Disney Channel. They want to film "scenes" from the show with a live audience. I would imagine they'll do a couple of numbers, probably Under the Sea, and maybe Part of Your World.
This is jusy my hunch, remember... Updated On: 12/21/07 at 01:11 PM
I was thinking a sneak peek to be shown during Disney's Christmas Parade. But that might be cutting it real close.

"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!" -E!'s "The Soup"

yankee_fan907 ~ Actually 2.5 hours would probably be about right for them to do a couple of numbers. They'll probably want a few takes and angles to choose from. A lot of things tape for longer than they actually air when they're on tv.

I'm 100% pretty sure it's for Disney's Christmas Day Parade, which isn't much of a parade but an hour or two long commercial for the Disney Company. They show new and old attractions at all the parks, clips of Disney on Ice and Broadway, new and upcoming Disney films then they show what little they can of the parade.
Broadway Shows I've Seen: Hairspray, Chicago, Little Shop of Horrors (2003), The Wedding Singer, Spamalot, Riverdance, Rent, Beauty and the Beast, Spring Awakening, Wicked, Legally Blonde, Phantom of the Opera, Sweet Charity (revival), Drowsy Chaperone, The Lion King, Dreamgirls(2010 Tour).
I don't think disney would plan on taping and airing the whole show this early in its run think of it as common sense wouldn't there be a press release or something i'm pretty sure this is for the parade.
He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.
ABC on Christmas Morning I think it starts 9am (central)

I am 100% sure that this was taped for Good Morning America. They were doing "Part Of Your World" and "Under The Sea". I'm not sure when it airs though.
Well... Given that Good Morning America is on ABC as is the Walt Disney World Very Merry Christmas Parade, I think it's possible that both theories could be right. Especially as the parade seems to usually be an extension of GMA.
