She phoned in Little Mermaid the night I saw it. Her wig was the most interesting thing about her. Ugh, that show was a total turkey.

I never saw The Little Mermaid, but I have seen Sherie in Aida, The Last Five Years (three times), Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (twice), Landscape of the Body (twice), and Everyday Rapture (four times between Second Stage and Broadway) and she's never once given anything less than 100% on stage.

And to answer the original question, the show works just fine in this space. Better than I would have expected, actually.


"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I've seen pretty much everything this woman's ever done (multiple times) and I can honestly say I've never seen her "phone it in". Not once, not ever. You go see Sherie and you're pretty much guaranteed the best performance she can give and there's not a lot of people I'd say that about.

As for the stage door, it's not her favorite thing to do. She's had problems it before and it's put her off to doing it. The fact she even does it at all should be enough for you. If you want your playbill signed but don't want to deal with her because she's not performing the way you want her to after her show, mail it to the theater and she'll send it back to you signed. Done and done.
