I don't see him "acting straight."
Name one actual prince from a Disney movie that played straight.

Posted: 5/7/13 at 10:52pmThere were two rather quick flying sequences in the original broadway production. Eric's drowning and Ariel's transformation. Neither of them were handled too well. Eric's drowning was definitely the better of the two. It started off well and could have been very effective; however Ariel was just on the stage floor and literally just gave the drowning Eric a little shove as he floated back to the surface. The jerky ungraceful mess that was Ariel's transformation was just that: a mess. Also both were done by doubles of the actor's and were done pretty far back on stage. Neither seemed like something you would expect from a Disney show on broadway. Considering the flight work in Marry Poppins and the transformation in Beauty and the Beast.

If you look at the photos from the rehearsal posted earlier, there is really only one new song. I want to say its for Ursula called "Daddy's Little Girl". The Triton version of "The World Above", I assume they are reinstating from the Workshop.

"Name one actual prince from a Disney movie that played straight."
Name one that was played 'gay'.
They are all straight.

Posted: 5/11/13 at 7:38pm^The new song is called "Daddy's Little Angel." Why does everyone keep calling it "Daddy's Little Girl?"

I'm still partial to "I Want the Good Times Back" as Ursula's intro number. I haven't heard "Daddy's Little Angel" with full orchestrations, but it sounds like another version of "Mother Knows Best" from Tangled, which of course was another version of "Wasting Away" from the demo of TLM.

Posted: 5/11/13 at 8:19pmNick Adams will do a great job as Prince Eric.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Posted: 5/11/13 at 8:37pm^I also like "I Want the Good Times Back" better than "Daddy's Little Angel." "Good Times" isn't as blatantly expositional as "Daddy's Little Angel" and the tempo is a little more upbeat. Also, Sherie sang the sh!t out of the reprise and I'll miss that too.

"Daddy's Little Angel" is a little too perched up and pouty sounding for my tastes. Musically, I mean. It fits the fallen glamour queen archetype for the role that they went for with the musical adaptation, at least Sherie Rene Scott's version of the character.
From what I read, "I Want the Good Times Back" was Sherie's idea, as a more "go get em" kind of number rather than the woe-is-me mantra of "Wasting Away".
