off topic - but, does anyone know how Vanessa Williams transformed to 'beautiful' in the ITW revival? I saw it, but want to know how it was done technically. It was pretty cool.
You could PM me to keep the Mermaid Tales going.

again a vote for Sara Ramirez as Ursula. She is one of the only actresses that could pull off both Ursula and Vanessa.
And I am super excited about George Tsypin being the designer. In a lot of his past work he has displayed a sort of airy-waterlike open feel that I'm sure will translate well to this project.

Posted: 3/24/06 at 3:45pmi personally think they should employ those cirque du soliel people. i remember at the victoria's secret show, they had somebody flying around and that could work.

Posted: 3/24/06 at 7:30pmASHLEY BROWN AS ARIEL!!!!*consider it* Sara Ramierz as Ursula!!!!!Norbert Leo Butz as Eric!!!!!! They could use some low-lying fog, a ool set, some flying fish *on poles* and some ultraviolet lights. I would love this, Hunchback, and Pocahontas to become musicals*Hunchback played in Berlin under Disney*. Pocahontas could be only in Chicago/Detroit/!Los Angeles! Hunchback for tour/Broadway. For Ariel transformation get on of those spinning harnesses that they used in the Seussical tour, put her infront of a big bubble thing, and use ALOT of fog. Mybe her costume could slip off as she squirms around. Then she "swims" to the roof. Then Intermission. Maybe Rosie O Donnel could be Ursula.....
