No offense to anyone of Jodi Benson's age (from which I am not too far myself)...

But a 45-year-old Ariel? You must be joking.

greeneyed_one: he most certainly would be a brilliant Eric. But I want him as Westley more. Roll on 'Princess Bride'!

Also roll on 'Little Mermaid'. I hope both these shows are around at the same time, I would full-on blow my life-savings on a trip to NY if I could see both these shows in one trip.

I still think Jessica Grove would be an adorable Ariel!! What has happened to her? I thought she was the cutest thing in "Millie".

A little OT, but....did anyone see her in "The Boyfriend?"

I said this on the "perfect roles for stars" thread a little while back, but I'll say it again:

Katharine McPhee as Ariel

She has a great, rich, musical theater quality to her voice, and I heard she did lots of community and regional thater in college and whatnot. Not saying that she is the absolute, perfect, must-be-Ariel, but I think it's a cool idea.

Don't kill me, I'm just throwing it out there

If I can't play Flounder I think Barrett Foa should.

andrea mcardle, is too old. they need to choose someone who could pull off ariel...someone who is young and CAN pull it off...like celia keenan-bolger. she would be the perfect ariel as she is pretty, young and has the voice. she workshopped the role last year alongside cheyenne. she is perfect for the role as she is wicked in spelling bee playing, when playing the role of a young person. her and cheyenne are perfect for the lead roles.
