My first Broadway musical! Yay!
I remember being very excited when I first hear that this show was in the pipeline, and wondering just how it would be done, You know the whole mermaids tails, and swimming thing.
Well, I can tell you now!
The waves rose and fell depending on whether you were above or below sea level, and the mermaids / mermen all wore Heelies! So cool! I hadn't thought of that! I thought maybe rollerblades or rollerskates, but Heelies are soooooo much better! They even had adapted character shoes for wheels! Wow!
The tails were attached in such a way as to stand upright behind the actors when they were standing and if they lay down they looked just perfect! I am in awe of the brains of these people!!!!
Every actor was brilliant (The Prince was Drew Seeley!!!) but I thought the best of the lot was Flounder. Unbelievable talent :-)
