Great find! THANKS!

Disney Theatricals is being intensely protective of the set, costume and special-effects designs (understandably), so they are not making photographs or even drawings available just yet. In fact the word we are getting here in Denver is that there will only be just a few standard production photos released during this entire run, and those likely won't even be taken from the actual set. That's how much they want to (try to) preserve the mystery as best they can leading up to New York -- which will take some doing considering more than 125,000 people will have seen it in Denver. But whatever we do get, we'll post!

They aren't letting people into rehearsals either - this is all so top secret...

The reason for being so tight lipped is because Disney is using new ground-breaking technology for this production.

That should be interesting to see play out -- the visual of a black father intolerant of his white daughter wanting to puruse an interspecies relationship.

Here's what was said:

"King Triton is clearly prejudiced," said actor Norm Lewis. "He does not want his mermaid daughter to be with a human. And I can use that as subtext because of what I have been through as a minority in this country."

Lewis is black - so audiences will see a black man learning to embrace someone "different," heightening the overall message of tolerance, acceptance and understanding.

"That really is the moral of the story and very much a guiding light for me," Zambello said. "The father ultimately embraces the daughter's choices, which means he accepts a completely different world."
