Last I heard, they were working on three new shows:
Mary Poppins, currently in London
The Little Mermaid
Tarzan
I haven't heard very much buzz lately, though. Anyone? I'm intrigued.

The search feature is your friend. There is another thread ALL about this...mistakenly called "Little Murmaid."
Sorry, had to warn you about the search feature...

TARZAN is still coming first, sadly.
LITTLE MERMAID will follow TARZAN.
I'd love to see PATTI LUPONE as Ursula.

No, as much as I love him, he would ruin the role with his Harvey personality.
Yes, the Phil Collins Tarzan.

I think Harvey would be a great Ursula if they decided to cast a male...it's not like she sounds that feminine anyway. I can imagine him being able to get his voice very deep for the role.
Yet, who would play him as a beautiful girl?

Posted: 1/7/05 at 1:42amooh in all seriousness, Debbie Gravitte would be awsome as Ursula! Actually, in the Alan Menken album she sings "Poor, Unfortunate Souls" and shes so good!

Posted: 1/7/05 at 8:53amEmily's Poor Unfortunate Souls from OTR was Awesome !! All of her solo songs were OUTSTANDING... She should have had more songs.. but what can you do, it was a review...
