In a letter I got back from Celia, she told me that she had been a part of TLM workshop as Ariel after the Tony's. So, shes a definite contender for Ariel. I believe it's between her and Kerry Butler. I love them both dearly but Kerry seems a bit too older-looking for a character who's supposed to be in her late teens. If Celia would be as amazing as I think she would, she could very well win the Tony Award.

Celia Keenan-Bolger as Ariel
Cheyenne Jackson as Prince Eric
Harrison Chad as Flounder
Harvey Fierstein as Ursula
I would be in heaven with a cast like that.

wait wait so Little Mermaid is still a go to come to Broadway? Any idea when it is expected? So Disney will have Lion King, B and the B, Mary Popins, Tarzan, and Little Mermaid? I am impressed!

Theatreboi, I'm sure some Disney musicals will be pushed out by the upcoming ones, or might stay and the new ones will go, depending how they fare.

I can see Lion King lasting for a while, but how much longer you think B and the B will last? I feel it is strong because parents feel it is a safe bet for the kids. And did Mary Poppins do well in London?

well Disney is dominating Broadway, i personally hope Celia gets it on Broadway, but i dont think Little Mermaid will be out for a while what with Tarzan opening soon, i'd say a year or two after Tarzan opens

Poor Harrison chad...once he starts to go through puberty it's going to be tough for him to find roles on Broadway, as there are barely any roles for boys 13-16.

the poster above was the teaser poster for when they theatrically re-released it in the late 90s.

my vote 4 the role of Ariel is deff going 2 Kerry Butler. Coz she's got both the looks, the voice and the talent. Kerry RULEZ! Hope she gets the part.

Last time I checked, The Little Mermaid was possibly opening in 2007, but I'm not sure.
If/When it opens, it won't be likely that all four Disney shows (BatB, Lion King, Tarzan, Mary Poppins) will still be running- they'd be competing with themselves. I think that BatB will close by then, and possibly either Tarzan or Mary Poppins. I just can't see Disney having five shows running on Broadway at the same time.

oh, and as much as I want Emily as Ursula, my vote goes to Sara Ramirez (and I've only heard her on Spamalot OBCR)
#46
Posted: 3/15/06 at 6:28pm
I think that Sara Ramirez is too young for Ursula, does anyone else think so? I always imagined Ursula being played by a middle-aged actor, as opposed to someone who is closer to Ariel's age. (the actor playing Ariel) I just feel like there needs to be an age gap between Ursula and Ariel.

Ursula spends a good portion of the movie young...
And unless they find a squid to play her for the other portion of the movie, makeup will probably be needed anyway...
Unless, they used carol channing.

I think Sara would work, because it would be wise to use the same actress to play Vanessa (is that the name?)

As I have said before, I believe that Ursula should be played by a man in drag, preferably Harvey, as the character was based off of Divine. But I dont know if Disney would allow that, so I would cast Meg Johnson. She was great in the London version of Chicago and her voice sound almost exactly like Usula's.
I think that when Ursula is young, they should just have another actress play her.
