I Miss Howard...:
I've never seen the Broadway musical, so this is strictly commentary on the music. I've been a die-hard fan of The Little Mermaid since the movie was first released in 1989, in part because of Alan Menken's unforgettable score and Howard Ashman's genius lyrics that speak to the heart, especially Part of Your World.

A black King Trident!:
Yup,when King Trident appeared you could see the audience whisper to each other and the confusion among the kids, like my 3 girls,ages 6,8, and 11.Ariel is as white as can be which made it so bizzare.It's like having a white Porgy or Bess or a non-jewish fiddler on the roof.Could you imagine the uproar. The show was just o.k. Better than Lion King(which isn't hard to do with people running around holding a paper mache face), but not even close to Beauty and The Beast,which was great.
Little Mermiad Rocks:
This is an awesome CD and a must have for every Little Memaid/Ariel lover. I purchased this for my daughter, as it was #1 on her wish list for Christmas. I couldn't resist giving it to her early. The Little Mermaid is her favorite Disney Character, and this is a great edition to her collection. The music is great, sound is great,
Disney's The Little Mermaid - Original Broadway Cast:
I bought this as a gift for my 7 year old, but I listen to it more than she does. We saw the show in NY in August and this cd transports us back to Broadway each time we listen to it. The songs written to showcase "Prince Eric's" voice are so beautiful they bring tears to my eyes. You will love this music!
