Hi,
I'm new to the boards and I just read on Cheyenne's website that he is playing Prince Eric in Disney's "Little Mermaid" this summer. Does anyone know who is playing Ariel?

Posted: 4/15/05 at 7:43pmProbably Kerry Butler even though she is 47 years old.

Posted: 4/15/05 at 7:45pmOh, she is not.

Posted: 4/15/05 at 7:55pmLOL. Love the Butler comment...she would keep me from seeing that show.

Posted: 4/15/05 at 7:58pmI thought she was great in "Little Shop". And I still would like to know who is playing Ariel? Updated On: 4/15/05 at 07:58 PM

Posted: 4/15/05 at 9:13pmBennett was just being facetious. Kerry is in her early 30s, I believe. I believe that she was Ariel, and that Emily Skinner was Ursula.

Posted: 4/15/05 at 9:15pmI want to say that Kerry's 33 but I'm not quite sure. It's irrelevant anyway because she can still pass for 18.
re: Cheyenne Jackson as Prince Eric#13
Posted: 4/15/05 at 9:16pmThat would only make her two years young than Emily, who was playing scary old Ursula.

Posted: 4/15/05 at 9:21pmAs much as I like Emily, I think she's all wrong for Ursula. My past suggestions for the part have included Chita, Patti LuPone, Eartha Kitt, Julia Murney, and Delta Burke.
re: Cheyenne Jackson as Prince Eric#15
Posted: 4/15/05 at 9:26pmI totally agree w/ your choices. Eartha Kitt is like...EXACTLY who I picture in the role.

Last question,Do they ever invite a public audience to workshop productions or just producers?

Posted: 4/15/05 at 9:44pmSometimes public audiences are allowed with smaller shows that want to get some exposure but I'd be incredibly shocked if Disney allowed the public into one of their workshops.

Posted: 4/15/05 at 10:20pmwow prince eric is so hot but so dumb lol that would be a lot of fun
Emily Skinner wrong for Ursula????#20

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!??!?!
Disagree.
Edit: I enjoy Patti for Ursula...but Delta Burke would probably only work if they changed Ursula's role so that she doesn't have to move...or sing...or speak at all really. Did you SEE her in Millie??! She was like Simone offensive.
Emily Skinner wrong for Ursula????#21
Posted: 4/16/05 at 12:27amKerry Bulter is in the workshop as Ariel and I heard her sing "Part of That World" on her website and I almost couldn't tell the difference between her and the original voice of Ariel.........she sounded really good.

Posted: 4/16/05 at 12:30amDon't rag on Kerry Butler! She is in her early 30s, but she can still pass for 15. And she is a great performer. Kerry Butler would probably be the only reason I would want to see THE LITTLE MERMAID. She is phenomenal. Give the woman a Tony!!
Emily Skinner wrong for Ursula????#23
