I love that poster except the cartoony clipart of Flounder looks terrible.

According to Auli'i, there's going to be 12 songs. The animated classic has 8, so there's 4 songs left from the Broadway Musical... which ones do you think that are going to make the cut?

I think that "Her Voice" and "If Only" are going to be there for sure.... and maybe "Beyond My Wildest Dreams" or "The World Above"?

There’s 10 from the original if you include the “PUS” reprise and the choral “POYW” at the end. Of course they’ll at least give Eric one song, most likely “Her Voice,” but I'd love if he got to sing "One Step Closer," too. After that, I’d guess “Beyond My Wildest Dreams” and “I Want the Good Times Back” for the protagonist and villain.

Come to think of it, who did they cast as Triton? If he can't sing, they couldn't possibly do "If Only"?

Eric is singing "Fathoms Below" in this version. But I'm sure they're going to give him a second song like "Her Voice".

Oh, good to know! Giving him "Fathoms Below" is a smart choice.

If Triton won't sing then there isn't an actor for him. And I Want the Good Times Back isn't used anymore in any production of The Little Mermaid

Eric kind of had 'Fathoms Below' in the Broadway show, so that makes sense.

I don't know how ABC will work, but the live versions of The Sound of Music and Hairspray both received soundtracks.

Thanks so there's still hope though I don't know how much I'll want it anyway.

Cool! If only they had flown in the original Broadway show, with tails, maybe it would have done better.

Seen on Instagram the costumes they are wearing in the promo shots aren't going to be used in the final show; what they will actually be is way more fancy and elaborate ! I'm guessing that's why we haven't seen full body shots or anything like that.
