Is the Little Mermaid on Broadway a good show?

Question

I am going to NYC in two weeks and want to catch a broadway show, do any of you have any opinions on the little mermaid musical? I loved it when i was little and hopefully I will like this. I am in between the little mermaid, grease, and wicked, but wicked is a lot of money.

Answer 1

I had a friend in NYC who saw it.

He said that the musical is not without its problems, but the bashing that it got from the critics was rather unwarrented.

He enjoyed it a lot, but wished the tickets weren't $100 a pop. You will have to get used to some changes in the approach to things, but it is not a copy-over from the film (as the Ice Shows do)

Answer 2

dont c any of them. if u want 2 c a show go to somthing a little more origional like Rent or Gypsy or The Drowsy Chaperone instead of 1 of those made for tourist shows you listed. Please.

Answer 3

It's not worth it. The Disney movie is better anyway!! It is a classic movie, why ruin the experience and money

Answer 4

I haven't actually seen Little Mermaid, but I do have the CD and I have seen videos of it on youtube and it is really amazing. I plan on going to see it when I go to NY in August. But if you havn't seen Wicked, you should definitely try and see that. If tickets for Wicked are too expensive, you can try winning the lottery for the show. For info on the Wicked lottery, just check out www.wickedthemusical.com

Answer 5

I LOVED IT!!!!!!!! i have  the prebroadway denver show recording video if you want to see it before you go

Answer 6

I just saw the Little Mermaid on Broadway. I have to say that it was wonderful! The whole cast has so much talent. Also, the creativity that was used to act out all of the scenes and to create all of the background scenery and props was amazing. The musical differed just a little bit from the original Disney movie, but it did not take away from the story at all. If anything, it made it better. The Little Mermaid was my favorite movie as a young girl. So, I was very excited to be able to see this show. I definitely was NOT disappointed. I highly recommend that you go see this show. You will truly enjoy it!
