So is the Little Mermaid actually going to happen? I haven't heard that much about it. Are they adding songs for Prince Eric? I don't recall him singing in the film.

I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I am tired of Disney musicals.......

I could never be tired of The Little Mermaid..hopefully it won't open for like another 6 years, so I'll be living in NYC by then, and I can go like every day I'm free!

and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...

"So the other girls name is Vanessa?????? I, for one, do not think they should split up the role at all. Bernadette could definately pull off a Vanessa!!!!!!"

Wouldn't it be a bit of a stretch to buy that Ariel doesn't realize it's the same person though?

Well, I mean you have the whole heavy make up thing with Ursula, but for the scene she has soonest to her transformation you could have a body double and in that vast amount of time Ursula has she could get out of the fat costume and makeup (which is easier to get out of than get on probably). But then yo uhave Ursula change back again for the battle. So, one actress in both roles kinda wouldn't work.
In repsonse to the "I'm tired of Disney musicals" post, I could never get tired of Beuaty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, or Little Mermaid. Of them all I thought Little Mermaid would have made the best musical. And now that Disney has had experience on Broadway with B& B, Lion King, and Aida they will be able to have a better sense of what works and what doesn't for the stage. And even if a lot of the show doesn't work you will always have the incredible original songs from the movie, which there is no way to butcher.
