Our First Look at Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID LIVE! on ABC
We’ve got our first look at the characters filling out the cast of Disney’s upcoming The Little Mermaid Live! on ABC. This is not to be confused with the live-action remake that is being made for the big screen. No, this is a second The Little Mermaid project that will be performed live on TV. Because one remake of the classic animated tale just wouldn’t be enough, and a musical that half takes place in the ocean is the perfect choice for a stage play.
Never mind my negativity, I just don’t see the point of two of the same story happening so close to each other. But maybe they will both be really fun and exciting and different enough that we will see the value in both. I would love to eat my words and enjoy it all!
Take a look at the actors in character who will be performing the musical live on stage for the ABC event, and let us know what you think. This version does have some excellent actors and voice talent in it that includes Auli’i Cravalho (Moana, Rise) as Ariel, Queen Latifah (Chicago, Hairspray) as Ursula, Graham Phillips (The Good Wife, Riverdale) as Prince Eric, John Stamos (Full House) as Chef Louie, and singer Shaggy as Sebastian.
The Wonderful World of Disney: The Little Mermaid Live! will air on ABC on November 5, 2019. Will you be tuning in?
