Is It Possible (Mermaid)

Is it possible that they are just doing the version they have in Denver just in Denver because its easier and once they get to Broadway they will change the ending and do something spectacular with Ursula getting huge and the sets etc??? It seems far fetched but is that a good possibility this should be great visually and performance and the reviews are not so good on the visuals...Im just curious

I would think they will try to do it here. Disney was looking for a specific space to do the out of town tryout. They are doing the show here but the stage is marked to the specs of the LuntiFontanne. So I would think that anything they want to do in NYC can be done here. And judging by the markings I saw on our stage for the Lunt, our stage is a bit larger so they have the space to do what they want.

They reworked AIDA a *lot* from its out of town tryout...however this was more of an original show.

I read in another thread that there's a rumor that the end they have now is a placeholder of sorts while they work on the "real" end. I have no idea if that's true, but I hope it is.

The night I saw it, the audience was not at all shy about indicating what they did and did not like. The ship coming down from the flies and Ariel saving Eric (you actually saw him sink, it was pretty cool) got a huge positive reaction, while they were generally nonplussed by the aspects that need work (Under The Sea, the end). The audience wasn't eating it up blindly because it's Disney.

There was a standing O when I went, but the audience's reactions during the show were far more telling. Like I said, people were reacting honestly. Under The Sea got a mediocre reaction, which is exactly what it deserved.
