I saw the show on the 27th I got row K center orchestra for $30

I loved the show all in all, its a little weak in a few places though.

Sierra has an AMAZING voice and stage presence! Her voice is INCREDIBLE she sounds just like the soundtrack. Some of her line deliveries, not many, were very community theatre however. (I got a picture with her! and her bodyguard is an asshole!)

Heidi is a rockstar, she was amazing at the stagedoor! I did miss Sherie in a few spots though, Heidi's voice is super solid.

Rogelio Douglas Jr. was great I loved his riffs.

Norm was EXCELENT

Flounder needs a new costume everybody in my row agreed that it looks like his mother made it. Its a T-Shirt and basketball shorts.

Sadly Sean Palmer has no stage presence, it is not his fault because you either have it or you dont, he does have a nice voice and did a few nice things with his line delivery though.

The audience didnt get that Sierra was singing in her head at first and it was very noisy during "Beyond My Wildest Dreams" due to questions

"If Only" is beautiful.

I loved all the places where they used double's ESPECIALLY when Prince Eric was drowning, and whe Ariel gets turned into a human was okay too, But when Ursula catches Ariel and turns her back into a mermaid was TERRIBLE. Everyone in the audience noticed it and a few people laughed. They literally took Sierra off in her human costume, brought a double out in a much cheaper version of Sierra's wig and the double had her back to the audience the whole time and she was heavier than Sierra, than for no reason they took "Ariel" off stage and brought Sierra back on. I realize they did this so they could switch Sierra back in but they did it for like no reason as far as the text goes.

I know it sounds like I didnt like the show, but I did.

Once again, Heidi is a rockstar, Sierra is stunning, and "If Only" is beautiful!

I think I would see it again, but while I was sitting through it, I kept saying I wouldnt, im not sure if that makes sense.

CSonBroadway and dg22894, I took my student ID to the box office like 30 minutes before curtain and got a rush seat. 2 other girls in my row did the same thing, great seat, it was in the center too.

Yeah, my friend and her mom both asked me why Ariel was singing at the beginning of "Beyond My Wildest Dreams," and then the complete stranger behind me asked as well.

I'm so glad you liked the cast-- I wish I could've seen Heidi as Ursula, even though I'm not a [tos] fan.

I love love loved the cast Schmerg_The_Impaler, the show has a lot of potential, the only things they need to change are "Beyond My Wildest Dream" and "If Only" I know there's some kind of way to make that look better. I also think they need to take out the contest and add the character Vanessa back in. And I think I have a good idea of how to fix the switch as well lol. Its a great show though.

The second and fourth (the most recent) time I went, I got row E and K center orchestra, respectively. I guess if you go during the week for student rush, that's what they give. The other times I rushed were a weekend, so I got front row, left side orch.

Do they accept high school i.d.'s or is it still college only.
