Did they replace Sean Palmer as Prince Eric? PotOpera recently went to see the show on Broadway and, like when he saw it in Denver, he video taped the show. Yesterday, he put up
Kiss the Girl, and, like the video of
Storm at Sea, Sean Palmer doesn't appear to be playing Eric.
The new Eric has lighter hair, definitely. In
Storm at Sea, however, he switches with (I'm assuming) Sean Palmer. You can visibly see the switch on the video.

Edit: The website still has Sean Palmer as Prince Eric. The guy in the video looks like Bret Shuford, the Prince Eric understudy. It just seems weird that he would make a swap in the beginning. I know they do a swap so that one can go underneath the stage for
Part of Your World Reprise, but he's Eric in
Kiss the Girl. Maybe Sean Palmer was absent, or maybe they're replacing him.
I wasn't a huge fan of his anyway...
