Yahoo Broadway has a new video of a photo shoot for The Little Mermaid... I think it just went up! Very cool!

I'm glad people can actually see Sierra gliding here! It looks like they haven't made any changes to Flounder's costume.
And notice, they still aren't showing Titus as Sebastian. I wonder what's going on there: cast change vs. costume change?

I can't believe that those two flounders (kids) are just wearing f*** yellow t-shirt ! 
Holy Mother of God ! I did not pay $81.50 each for mezzanine tickets just to see this crap.. I hope these are the ones theyve changed....

Don't worry J*, when you see it I'm sure Flounder won't be the primary focus of your attention.
I just realized too that they didn't show Scuttle in the video. A lot of people didn't like his costume, but I thought it (with a few alterations) was better than some of the looks they seem to be keeping.

The costume Flounder is wearing reminds me of the day-glo clothes I wore from 89-91
-So, what I was wearing when The Little Mermaid came out.

Posted: 10/18/07 at 12:56pmI had such high hopes for this production. Though this video is not in the context of the sets/scenes, it looks very disappointing. Those costumes are terrible and unimaginative.

wildcard- I agree. What happened to the the Disney's Imagineering team ? Have they ran out of imagination & creativity ?

Posted: 10/18/07 at 1:36pmSierra's pink dress reminds me so much of Christine's Masquerade dress in Phantom. Kind of ironic since she played Christine too. Yeah-I'm still not sure about this. I want to see it, but I just don't want to be disappointed.

There is no way they are taking Tituss out! He is AMAZING...... And he is in NY doing tech rehersals with them.

What the f***, how did those two random kids wearing cheap, home-made flounder costumes/t-shirts sneak onto the shoot?
I swear this is a joke, more and more I see of the designs the more I think that Aston Kutcher in a van parked on Time Square laughing his head off.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

I can not get over those two kids wearing oversized yellow t-shirt , yellow basketball shorts (that you can probbably buy at Walmart) , sneakers and just a spike hair...and theyre suppose to be flounders ! Oh my god ! I wish they change those unimaginative costumes.. I have put more imagination in my fANADu outfit when I saw Xanadu on 8/25 !
Norm Lewis looks hot though !
Those two guys with Sherie - what are they suppose to be ? algae ? I am soo confused ?
Sierra Borges twirling around in skates- that looks like Disney on Ice !
I hope this is NOT all of it...
or else my worst FEAR will be realize on 11/25!

Sierra's really pretty.
The costumes are still ugly.
#19re: New Little Mermaid Video!

Those 2 guys are supposed to be Flotsam and Jetsum... Ursula's minions.
I think the mermaid costumes would've been better if the tails were closer to the ground kinda like a wedding dress train... ya know?
I just hope it looks better in real life... Guess I'll just have to wait til November 17th to find out.

Posted: 10/18/07 at 3:28pmI feel like everything always looks better with the set and under the lights. With that, I'm still worried.

Good to know. I thought it would just be the costume they were reconsidering, but Riedel(?) mentioned that he wasn't getting the laughs the big-wigs were wanting...

Posted: 10/18/07 at 3:53pmI really wish they had taken some liberties with the costumes more, and thought more outside the box. I mean, even Prince Eric's hair is annoying. I mean, really? A tiny little ponytail? Couldn't we update the look.

"It means nothing to come and sit in a theater night after night and immerse yourself in fantasy, only then to walk out the door and be unchanged in reality. This show will live on in our hearts. But where it truly must survive is in our actions, our compassion and our generousity of spirit towards one another." - Adam Pascal on the closing of RENT
