As for
The Little Mermaid... I liked it.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD... WELL, AT LEAST SOME OPINIONS ABOUT THE PREVIEW PERFORMANCE I SAW TONIGHT
However, I'm afraid(?) to admit that I was a bit underwhelmed. It's a very entertaining show, and there are some pretty cool visuals and some standout performances. However, I was never really "WOW'd" by anything, and the emotional pay-off at the end was not really there. -Although, the quartet in the second act has to be one of most beautiful things that Alan Menken has ever written.
Strangely enough(?), my biggest complaint about the show was/is the show curtain. It's sort of ugly, and sort of grade-school-play-looking to me. However, it did look like they're in the midst of upgrading the proscenium arch, so maybe it's all just a work in progress. In any case...
I am sooooo proud of Tituss Burgess. We worked together a couple years ago, right before he started to "break". In fact, that break was a stint down at Disneyworld - and I was the one who urged him to go to that audition, so...
It's nice to know there is life after
Good Vibrations.
There was only real disappointment in the cast for me, but I can't tell if it was the actor or just the way the part was written - or a bit of both. -And I shall wait until I see the show again before I pass
my final judgement.
Yadda-yadda-yadda...
But, again, I enjoyed the show. We both enjoyed the show. And a great big Thanks to You-Know-Who-You-Are for the great seats!
