Someone asked if Sherie went out... Yup- Actually she was very pleasant and signing everyone's playbill.....
**********************
I think I will add one more thing before I let this thread go....
In fairness to Mr. Doug Wright (the librettist) - I would like to say I will add 1 more thing on my I LIKE list ...that he change something from the animated version to the stage version...
*********************SPOILER ****************
In the song.."The Contest" where he was looking for the girl behind the VOICE..
Prince Eric at the end realized that he is in love with Ariel (mute) even she does not possess the voice that he is looking for...and he will TAKE HER for WHO SHE IS...not what he wants her TO BE..... I thought that alteration was good...
It sends out a good message that even Ariel decided to change herself and became"human" (which is not being true to her REAL self) Prince Eric really FALL in love with her even she IF has no voice (eric was seeking) once he got a chance to know her...
I thought I add that....worth mentioning
*****************SPOILER END **********************
Thanks again everyone and see you all guys next Monday....oops..Tuesday.. Monday is a holiday! Happy MLK !
