When "negative" exits the room, so does perspective. Honesty is not just a word, it's a statement of truth. Of course it can be skewered. Best to take it and decipher if it is reasonable or beyond human ability to make happen.
Now, not one word on how they are going to fix my fish Scuttle's costume yet? Isn't he played by our Man from Drowsy? He deserves something, since it seems his songs aren't really great. Give the Man something decent please? Now this also is not negative, it is a cry for help. This is a grown Man in a Fish Costume. Please make him look good.
What about the troubles with Ursula's Costumes? I mean, fog is nice, if you don't have asthma, but it won't hide it if her arms look too fake or lame. Please tell them to fix this too!
Thank you for asking us what we would like to see improved, rather than asking us to pretend everything is wonderful. This attempt at censorship or disillusion causes some of us to put our money back in our pockets and go to spend it, yet again on a show we know is going to be good.
Remember too, we already have a great version of Little Mermaid on tape. Everyone hopes that those involved on the technical side will remember on stage, it is their job to help the Actors look good, so all they have to do is sing, act and dance. They can't do their job if the props don't work and distract the audience from their singing.
I just think the best approach is to see what is bothering people about the previews, positive and negative, then going back to see if it can be fixed or improved upon. This kind of thinking looks insightful and respectful. It could even make the show even better. It looks so much better than being closed minded to improvements.
Most of us here know, it is a preview. Most of us want the show to be as good as it can be. Some will never like Disney because it is delusional and misleads young people from what growing up is really like. They have their point too. If you don't like it, just read past it or debate it but keep these thoughts in mind when you do.
I'm afraid to say, after that one post of yours, you are more afraid of someone making you upset. I don't want to make you upset but your plea, when you are speaking of improvements or a review, doesn't feel right in a place like this. There will always be someone here who doesn't like what Producers do. You can't please everyone, no matter how hard you try.
**fixed it. Hopefully, so will the Producers.**
