I don't. Autumn looks too old. Isn't Ariel supposed to be 16?

Posted: 10/10/09 at 2:53pm

Yes, if Autumn was younger.

I can't imagine Autumn can reach the notes needed for Ariel.

I think they will cast it with the cheapest, most interchangeable nameless actors for the roles to keep costs down-they will sell this show on name alone. Even trying to get a Julia Murney would cost them too much. The only consideration will be to not cast an Ariel with big breasts, so as to avoid wardrobe malfunctions for the family set.

I could really see Ms. Stock rolling out with the tour. And, the last guy who played Sebastian who is currently doing ITH tour.

before we talk about casting lets talk about some revamping ideas? reinstating the character vanessa and the song all good things must end.

i LOVE the idea of autumn as ariel!!!! she would be PERFECT and she would sing the s@#t out of that role. and as for being too old, every reading, show, etc i have seen her in she BELIEVABLY plays 17-18 years old. kerrie butler is like 40 and still plays 18. get over it, people!! i would definitely buy tickets to see autumn as ariel!!!!

Neither Autumn nor Kerry Butler believably play 18. Not even close.

Ariel is actually 16. So as much as I would like to see Autumn play her, she doesn't look 16.

Emily Skinner as Ursula?

Emily Skinner as Ursula?

After the On the Record fiasco, I doubt Disney will hire Emily Skinner again.

I'd like to see Erin Mackey play Ariel. She brought agood amount of youth to the role of Glinda, and she'd probably do the same with Arie. She said playing a Disney Princess is one of her dream roles (like most girls). Julai Murney would kick butt as Ursula.

No thank you. She brings no depth to any role she plays. Updated On: 10/11/09 at 09:00 PM

I think they could really use unknowns and still sell this tour really well.

She would be playing ARIEL, not exactly that deep of a character.

What was the On The Record fiasco?

Posted: 1/17/10 at 2:13pm

I really don't think this tour is going to happen.
