The Little Mermaid previews tonight! :)

 Tonight previews begin for The Little Mermaid. I am counting the days until my January NYC trip! The newest Disney Theatrical Productions musical, The Little Mermaid, becomes part of the Broadway world Nov. 3 when the eagerly awaited production begins previews at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Francesca Zambello directs.

Mermaid ended its pre-Broadway engagement at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver Sept. 9. The musical will officially open on Broadway Dec. 6.

Sierra Boggess heads the cast in the title role of Ariel, who longs “to be where the people are” (as the lyric goes), above the water’s surface. She’s joined by Sean Palmer as Prince Eric, Norm Lewis as King Triton, Tituss Burgess as Sebastian, Eddie Korbich as Scuttle, Jonathan Freeman as Grimsby, Derrick Baskin as Jetsam, Tyler Maynard as Flotsam, Cody Hanford and J.J. Singleton as Flounder and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Aida veteran Sherie René Scott as the evil sea witch, Ursula.
