My step-mom decided that a Girls Night in NY would do us all good. And what better way to spend Girls Night than in the city seeing a great show and eating delicious food? We saw The Little Mermaid on Broadway, which prompted my father to question my sanity many, many times.
I have to admit: I love all of the pre-1996 Disney movies, so I was eager to see the flick translate to the stage. I mean, c'mon, who doesn't love "Under the Sea" and "Kiss the Girl", not to mention Ursala belting out "Poor Unfortunate Souls"? They're catchy and memorable songs!
The show was entertaining, and in addition to the standard "movie" songs, there were a slew of new tunes to explain the story further without dialogue, although none nearly as good as the original songs. The set was disappointing, however I am aware that since "The Lion King", I have unreasonably high expectations. In truth, it wasn't the best show I've ever seen, however I never cease to be amazed and amused by the whole spectacle of a Broadway show, and so I was thoroughly satisfied by The Little Mermaid on Broadway.
Even better than the show, I got to spend some much-needed quality time with three of the women who matter most to me: Atim, Angela, and Gabbie. It's in those locomotive lunges and sidewalk strolls that you really get to know one another.
I'm heading North on Sunday for some R n' R at The Mansion.
