The Little Mermaid on Broadway

Awww, I'm sorry to hear that ChrisLyne. That really does suck, since your tickets are for 7/20 and it closes on 7/8.

I don't know if we will ever see Tarzan in the West End as it did quite badly on Broadway (it announced it's closure the other day and will close in less than two weeks). It's doing well in the Netherlands but I think after it's finished there it'll disappear for the forseeable future.

As for Mary Poppins - fear not! She isn't going for good! When the show closes next year it will embark on a national tour. I just hope that it doesn't do what Beauty and the Beast did in the UK and vanish after the tour ends. Personally I'd hoped it would stay around as long as Lion King has, which is still going strong. We still have some great shows in London though, so all isn't lost - and I hope your right about The Little Mermaid!
Tarzan's closing?

I can't put into words how upset I am! The whole point of going to New York was to see that show! I had tickets for 20th July (my birthday) and my girlfriend has even re-arrange jury service so we could go to NY before Denver so we could see Tarzan for my birthday. Now I just feel like I've wasted so much time and money as the trip would be far cheaper with just TLM and Denver.

Glad Mary Poppins is touring. I wouldn't worry about it fading away, Beauty and the Beast is still on every year (at least in Manchester and I believe in Liverpool and other cities too).

Sorry to here about how unlucky you were with Tarzan. They announced it's closure so suddenly - it closes July 8th. Don't worry though, look on the bright side, New York is a great city with plenty to see and do - and so many shows to choose from you'll forget all about Tarzan. Really, you'll have a great time - see the sights, catch a show and go shopping. I've heard good things about Grey Gardens, and Spring Awakening cleaned up at the Tonys. You could catch one of Beauty and the Beast's last Broadway performances with Anneliese Van Der Pol as Belle, You can see the broadway version of Mary Poppins and of course there's the Broadway classics like Phantom of the Operah and Les Miserables.

Go and have a good time - And I'll be expecting a full review of The Little Mermaid when you get back!

Theres also Legally Blonde, Xanadu, The Lion King, Hairspray, Chicago, & Rent

Xanadu is the one I REALLY want to see.

Yeah you're right I will have a great time. I over reacted a bit last night as it was the first I'd heard about it (ticketmaster hadn't even bothered to send me an email to inform me it was cancelled) and felt devastated.

I actually think Beauty and the Beast is very tempting since it is the last run!

Edit: And of course I'll review TLM as soon as I get back (7/31 or maybe 8/1 depending on how much sleep I need as the return flight is over night and I have a bad habit of watching movies rather than sleeping on planes)

Fantastic video I found: http://www.broadway.com/gen/general.aspx?ci=549978

I had no idea who Jonathan Freeman was but knew he sounded familiar! Jafar as Grimsby is an interesting concept, I must say.

hey everyone, at the official site. There is now a "scrapbook" section, and it has photos from rehearsal. No costumes pictures yet, but still, something new

this is my favorite

Awesomes! The Little Merboy is keeping us up to date! If it weren't for you...I wouldn't know about this till much later! That is the best picture, though I love the one where Sierra looks scared. Good acting! And the one of Scott getting taught some moves is great. I wonder...will Scott put on the pounds for this role? Or a fat costume...or a skinny Ursula? No! Ursula must be as big and powerful as she was in the movie!

I can't find any 'scrapbook' part on the official Mermaid Broadway site......I'm dying to c this pictures!!!!

tsom · Post by **tsom** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 7:10 am

Well, the picture is described as Eric and Ariel dancing, so I guess this means that there are new scenes written for Ariel when she's on land.

The Little Merboy, only a few more weeks before you get to see it!!!!

Bewitched · Post by **Bewitched** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 7:33 am

I can't find those pictures anywhere, can somebody upload them here?

Cierra_Dancer · Post by **Cierra_Dancer** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 9:13 am

I don't see a scrapbook section to the site. Could somebody link it?

candydog · Post by **candydog** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 9:36 am

That's very strange. When I looked at the site this morning the scrapbook was there - I was looking at the pictures. Now it's gone. The scrapbook has disappeared!

The Little Merboy · Post by **The Little Merboy** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 11:43 am

Aww, thanks Disney Duster.

Thats crazy about the "scrapbook" section, I figured this would happen. So I saved the other picture of Sierra, the one Disney Duster mentioned.

And tsom, i will be in Denver in 12 days!!! I am sooo excited
