The Little Mermaid

As an early birthday present haydens_angel81 took me to see The Little Mermaid on Broadway. I love the Disney movie so much. It's the first movie I ever saw in the movie theater, so it's very special to me. When I was a kid, my sister and I used to pretend we were mermaids.





First of all, the costumes were sooooo pretty. Flotsam and Jetsam had on costumes that lit up. And during "Under the Sea," there were so many beautiful sea creatures. Sebastian also had a really nice costume.

I loved the moment when Ariel turned into a human. She lifted up into the air and the fin fell off. And now I want to dye my hair red. She had the nicest wig.

There were changes to the ending. A lot of changes, but I didn't mind. For example. Ursula isn't killed by Eric's ship. Instead, Ariel breaks a shell that Ursula gets her powers from. And Ursula doesn't change into that brunette girl or puts Eric under a spell. And songs were added, but I was so glad to hear the familiar movie songs. I mouthed the words when they sang.

I think my favorite musical number was "Kiss the Girl." It was a big production and I liked seeing the whole stage full.

I also had an amazing seat, so I got to see everything without heads in my way and I got to see the actors faces. Eric was kind of cute.



I was disappointed that the play ended. I wish it wasn't closing in August so I could go back.

Thank you so much, haydens_angel81 for the wonderful birthday present.
