The transformations didn't bother me nearly as much as the bizarre, "Let's bring our two worlds together for one night!" ending. Triton's line in that scene is beyond cheesy.

agreed. I was like...wait what?
Also his line in If Only (Triton Reprise) "It's as if in the blink of an eye, when my back was turned-you grew up" all I can think is corney much?? Get rid of either the blink of an eye or the back was turned-don't use both.

Thanks dinglehopper! I really liked Cody in the role... and you could tell he was really upset about it. The cast was comforting him the entire curtain call.

I have to admit when I saw the show and heard "two whole days", I thought he said twelve and I had this big "HUH" reaction.

Zepka ~ That explains it. I saw it Saturday night too and we were trying to figure out what was going on with Cody. Poor kid.

Ummm back on topic please... haha


I want to add that I saw Young Frankenstein the next day. While Mermaid has its flaws, I much prefered it to YF. Jokes weren't as funny and I didn't find myself enjoying the music. The sets and costumes were great. Too bad the cast didn't have more to work with.

Mike is very handsome in person... You wont miss him in a crowd at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater..He is VERY NOTICEABLE! ...I saw him last Saturday....He is tall, blonde and handsome.. I feel like a Princess ala... Sarah Jessica Parker in 1997 Revival of "Once Upon a Mattress" re: My Mermaid review!!!

The flounders were recast already? Thats unfortunate, they just opened.

Poor guys.
