I love The Little Mermaid, it's my favorite Disney movie. So when I found out it was going to be on Broadway, I was really excited. (Until Broadway went on strike and I ended up missing the show because of it.)
I've said repeatedly that Sierra Boggess wasn't right for the part of Ariel when The Little Mermaid was still on Broadway. Most of that comes from the fact that I heard the demo album before the show's cast was even announced, and Kerry Butler recorded it. Kerry is, by far, my favorite stage actress. And her voice was so perfect for Ariel. As I've said a thousand times now, Sierra is much more suited for the role of Christine in Phantom of the Opera/Love Never Dies.
As many times as I've said this, I don't remember ever posting the songs for comparison. So here they are.
