"Disney Hits Denver"
'The Little Mermaid' Broadway Reviewed By: Meghan McLaws
When I heard The Little Mermaid was being made into a musical, I was excited and a little apprehensive. I didn’t want the remarkable movie to be butchered by Disney and their theatrical team. With Beauty and the Beast and Lion King being such successes, I was hopeful that the same would happen with my favorite Disney classic.
And when I heard it was premiering in Denver before it went to Broadway, I was so ecstatic that I was moved to tears. Could this be a dream come true? A miracle for a miracle? I thought so, at least. It was fate that I was to see the Disney show before half of the country, and more so a blessing that I got tickets for the official first viewing of the show for an audience.
In the heart of downtown Denver, the Ellie Caulkins Opera House has been recently refurbished, with The Little Mermaid being the first show there since the remodel, and was a good choice for the premiere. The large house, with 4 levels and seats raised to allow viewing over the digital readers that lay on each seat back, wasn’t fully packed at the beginning. As the small crowd of mostly families with small children gathered outside, large posters hung overhead.
