It is to my understanding that aforementioned Boston Conservatory senior Chelsea Stock has been cast as a member of the ensemble and as an Ariel cover. That's all I know though.
If they want the same actress to play Ursula and Vanessa (Ursula in disguise as pretty young human), then she's not quite within the sought-after age range.
not to be annoying...but how do we know all of this abt sierra and sherie and everything. ive heard abt this chelsea stock girl from someone who knows her....but everything else...?
Some of us are in the industry and have access to insider casting info. We do not divulge specifics of exactly where we get our information so as to protect our sources from getting in trouble. Sometimes things turn out not to be true but it all gets verified or unverified when the press release comes out. As far as I know from my sources, the info in this thread so far is pretty accurate.
Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?
Is Sherie Renee Scott alto? That's what they're looking for for the role of Ursula. Plus her voice sounds a bit too young to play her. And, Ursula is supposed to envy Ariel's beautiful voice and I don't think Sherie's voice would leave anything to be envied...
Sierra Boggess was a stellar Cosette on tour with "Les Mis," as well as a wonderful Christine in the Vegas production of "Phantom." I'm sure she will make a first rate Ariel.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
Sierra Boggess has been cast, just happened within the last week or so I believe. As far as the others go I don't know how much is set in stone but I'd like to see Ursula go to someone like Emily Skinner. I hope they officially announce the cast soon though, then I can decide whether to trip to Denver this summer or not.
So anyone know how they are going to get away with the fish tails on the mermaids, without the use of water or airial stunts? Any news leaked on this yet?
As for Eric, if he wasn't tied up with Pirate Queen, Hadley Fraser all the way. Or Marcus Chait for that matter.
I was thinking like they do for Disney On Ice. (^) But They would have to walk across the stage... wouldn't they? Will they use wires for the swimming effect?
