Little Mermaid Casting Rumors From LaughingPlace.com — Page 7

Sexton replaced Luba Mason in J&H, not Linda Eder.

She did cover for Linda Eder (and Luba Mason), though.

I think it would be cool to have Kevin Cahoon and Raúl Esparza as Flotsam and Jetsam, but I know it won't happen.

I know Seth Rudetsky (host of Broadway channel on Sirius) at least auditioned to play one of the eels, I think it was.

---

I really don't dig her on the demo.

100% official from a cast member in the show.

Sherie Renee Scott as Ursula.
Norm Lewis as King Triton.
Titus Burgess as Sebastian.
Christine Daee cover from Vegas Phantom as Ariel.

Yes, completely sure. My friend has been working on the show and says the only thing that is completely choreographed is "Under The Sea", and a lot of it is, as rumored, on those Heely shoes to give the affect of swimming or floating. They're still looking for a Prince Eric lead.

That I don't know.

Suspend your imagination.

Celia Keenan Bolger doesn't look like Gary Beach and Jenny Galloway, nobody talks about that.

How would Norm Lewis work as King Triton? Sierra Boggess doesn't look anything like his daughter. That wouldn't work.

Nor are they mer-people! That doesn't work.

Well, John Cullum is playing Audra McDonald's father in the upcoming revival of 110 in The Shade, and they look anything alike.

The cast sounds...OK so far.

And I think they will do Flounder, The eels, Sabastein, and maybe even Scuttle with puppets.

IMO, that doesn't mean a thing. While this supposed cast member may be blabbing what he/she has heard verbally or seen in talks for certain roles, only the actors and producers involved know what's being negoatied in contract form. Theater boards Admins. have made their own "official" announcments, only to find that deals sometimes fall through.

Bottom line is until it's in ink and the show does an offical press release nothing is fact.

A handfull of people know who will replace Shuler Hensley in Tarzan. I only know because the actor called me to let me know what he's doing next month. I'm happy for him. But out of respect for those involved, it's only fair to let them announce it.

Specualtion or rumors are ok and even fun for fans, but people involved in a show or in this industry should respect the actors and the producers right to announce casting.
