I remember seeing Sarah Litzsinger as Bell in Beauty and the Beast and thinking she loooked and sounded exactly like an Ariel in The Little Mermaid, and I thought she would be perfect.

Oh yeah, i meant "Seductive Ursula" but then again, he could do that to. I can just see Cheyenne now or Gavin with Harvey while trying not to laugh. I love Harvey hes so funny.

jimmyojimmy! I agree about Kelli! I thought that when I heard the song "light in the piazza"--such a gorgeou soprano voice!

and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...

I didn't automatically think "OOH!! SHE COULD PLAY ARIEL" upon hearing PIAZZA, but she could definitely do it. However, I'd prefer to see her in more sophisticated fare.

I just really love the tone of her voice-that song was the first time I'd heard her.

and I'm very picky about Ariel--it's been my dream role since I was 2

I think Michelle Federer's voice would be good for the part.

Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH! 8/21/05

Ariel- Jenn Gamby (couldn't spell her last name, lol), Kerry Butler, I think Sutton Foster is a bit old but I would love to hear her sing some of the songs

Prince Eric- Chenneye Jackson, Gavin Creel

Flounder- a previous CHip from BATB or Gavroche from Les Mis

Sebastian- Gary Beach, Wayne Brady

Ursula- Harvey Fierstein (I think he is a shoo-in for Ursula if this comes to Bway. He's got the voice for it)

Beautiful Ursula- Darcie Roberts, Sherie Rene Scott

I would like to see Megan McGinnis as Ariel. And I would like to see a big diva for Ursula... perhaps Idina or someone of that persuasion.

Kelli O'Hara would make a fantastic Ariel... umm im not to sure if Idina or anyone else on this board would be up for her as Ursula lol... Sara Ramirez could be the "suductive" Ursula and i'd like to see Harvey as Ursula

How old is Ursula supposed to be? I mean, I must have seen the movie, but can't remember it fo rlife. If she can be older, and has a big voice, Mary Bond Davis.

Well, I'm glad he got away with it.

How about Sharon Wilkins, Liz McCartney, Jennifer Holliday or Lilias White as Ursula?

And I say again, Debbie Gravitte for Ursula! I'm on a campaign here!

I think that Stephanie J. Block should be Ariel- she seems to like entertaining the younger children
