Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Little Mermaid Soars to New Heights
I was somewhat skeptical of this album before I heard it. "The Little Mermaid" was my favorite Disney film growing up and I'd memorized the soundtrack before I was seven. When I heard that they were doing a Broadway version of it I was excited, until I heard some of the bad reviews for it. Since then, I discovered what an amazing job Broadway did with "The Lion King" and "Beauty and the Beast," so I decided to give "The Little Mermaid" a try...

And thank God that I did! "The Little Mermaid" ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great!
I just got this yesterday, and so far I love it! The vocals are awesome: everyone sings incredibly. I gave it only four stars because some of the new songs just don't seem to mesh as well with the original music as I want them to. The songs themselves are all amazing, but a few of them ("I want the Good Times Back", and "Positoovity" especially) just don't seem to fit with the overall sense of the musical. I must say though that growing up with the original Little Mermaid and then recently watching it (a ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Well worth the money
I loved the original movie and was skeptical about this new Broadway musical, especially after such movie-to-Broadway shows like Shrek and Tarzan.However, I was blown away.The new material is reason alone to buy this album. The new material given to Ursela really gives more depth to the character.This seems like a running theme throughout the musical, which is something I can appreciate as an adult.Sierra Boggess is a very good Ariel, and while she is not Jodi Benson, she brings her own flair to the ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Mermaid Effect
There are billboards around bus stops in NYC that read "The Mermaid Effect" and show the picture of a little girl sitting in a theatre with her mouth wide openned.

Ladies and Gentleman that is indeed the effect from watching this show.Forget about the movie and enjoy it for what it is, an interpretation from a movie.A lot of reviwers complained about Triton being black, the fact that he and ursula are brothers, and other minor details that in my opinion DO NOT DIMINISHED the enjoyment of this ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Gem of a Musical
This soundtrack is certainly a gem.I have heard the soundtracks for many other Disney Broadway shows, and while they are certainly good, I'd have to say that this is my favorite.It contains songs from the movie as well as some new, catchy songs.I haven't seen the show...in fact, I've never seen any Broadway show.But for someone who hasn't, a good recording is even better.

Sierra Boggess shines in her role as Ariel.Her voice is young and fresh, but sounds similar enough to Jodi Benson's ... Read More
