Wikipedia predicted the Michael Ball Sweeney revival months before it was announced.
Of course I still wouldn't 'believe' it, but I mean. It is accurate sometimes, strangely.

Posted: 11/10/09 at 12:00amI'd take this with a grain of salt. Someone posted that Eden Espinosa would replace Sutton Foster as Fiona in "Shrek," but I never believed it.

You take your chances. 50/50 with Wikipedia, depending on what it is.
It's a little more complicated than just saying the Wiki system isn't "reliable", though.

Posted: 11/10/09 at 9:39amWikipedia also tried to muzzle the truth about Orfeh's real age. They can not be trusted!

Posted: 11/10/09 at 10:45amid be shocked if this was true...megan hilty can be doing much better things than a tour of not so hot musical...this woman belongs back on broadway, and not in wicked!!!

Posted: 11/10/09 at 12:28pmI'd be shocked if that tour actually happened. Doesn't Disney want this embarrassment Zambello "created" to end?

Posted: 11/10/09 at 2:01pmIt's only an embarrasment if you expect shakespeare. It's a fun, cute show, and it will make them tons of money. Disney does not want that ended I'm sure.

I'm trying to think how Megan would look in the mermaid outfit. I mean, she's not fat, but she's certainly not a stick like Sierra and Chelsea.
Besides that, I can't really see her as Ariel... Ariel's supposed to be this innocent, sweet, ingenue. Megan, I think, is suited to comedic roles. Which Ariel, for the most part, is not. I actually think Megan would be a great Ursula if she were a bit older.

Posted: 11/10/09 at 3:58pmI couldn't see her as Ariel. I think Chelsea will do the tour.

Noo no no, I meant the TOUR is happening, not Megan as the role...
I can almost see her as Carlotta, even though that role is teeny-weenie.

I would love to HEAR Megan sing as Ariel, but like another poster mentioned, i don't know how she would look in the costume, she might have to hit the gym first. I hated Chelsea's voice as Ariel. i hope she doesn't go on tour. i don't think anyone can top Sierra's voice as Ariel.

#19re: Megan Hilty as Ariel in TLM tour? Wikipedia says so.
Posted: 11/10/09 at 4:50pmI don't think Disney would hire Megan, who is a somewhat established Broadway star and could command a higher salary than a newcomer. Disney doesn't need a "name" in their show, the Little Mermaid will sell itself.

Posted: 11/11/09 at 1:59amWikipedia also says that Laura Bell Bundy will be starring as Doralee in the 9 to 5 tour along with Alison Janney. If that's true (which I doubt it is) why wouldnt Megan do the 9 to 5 tour, instead of Mermaid?

Posted: 11/11/09 at 1:00pmWikipedia can have incorrect information for a short period of time due to the fact that anyone can make changes, but it's extremely accurate in the long haul. Right now, for example, there is no mention of a connection between Megan and TLM on either her or the production's wikipedia page.
