Posted: 4/14/13 at 9:34amI was wondering the same thing! I think they probably won't release the cast until later in the Millie run.

Posted: 4/29/13 at 9:43pmAt the NY Pops Gala, Nick Adams stated he'd be in the production and the whole cast would be announced on Thursday. He didnt say who he'd play, I would think Prince Eric

It's announced now.

Since they mention this production also playing Kansas City Starlight and Pittsburgh CLO this summer, does anyone think the cast might be the same for those productions? I remember Pittsburgh CLO noted that they were NOT auditioning for "The Little Mermaid," along with "Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story" and "The Lion King" (both are touring productions). Could that be an indicator?

So does this mean Prince Eric will have really short sleeves?

Posted: 5/3/13 at 11:32amHas it been confirmed that the Papermill Cast will transfer to the other two theatres?

"The production, featuring a revamped script, additional songs, a new physical production and an entirely fresh interpretation of the piece, will also play at partner theatres Kansas City Starlight and Pittsburgh CLO."
I would assume so...

Then TUTS is using the physical show and revamped book and score next summer in Houston.
I wonder if we'll get any of these cast members...

#17The Little Mermaid cast Papermill
Posted: 5/6/13 at 8:44pmDo you all think that they would have changed it that drastically? God, I hope so.

“The Paper Mill Playhouse version of Disney’s The Little Mermaid has never been seen before,” stated director Glenn Casale. “The script and the structure of the piece are entirely new. Ursula and Triton have new songs. It is a family adventure that you will want to share with your sons and daughters.”
On Broadway.com they also listed a flying sequence by Paul Rubin. Was there flying in the original broadway production?

Posted: 5/6/13 at 9:05pmI believe that Glenn Casale directed the Dutch production of the show that incorporated flying (and he is also a Peter Pan veteran) so I would assume that he's probably using some of the flying sequences from that production for the under water scenes.

Posted: 5/6/13 at 10:24pmThat's because that's not a playable action. All he has to do is put his attention on the woman playing Ariel, and play for her heart. I'm sure he knows what it is to be in love with another human being, he just has to do that with his scene partner.
