The Little Mermaid (Original Broadway Cast Recording)


hans christian andersen's the little mermaid is one of my favourite fairy tales and the disney feature is one of my favourite animated features of all time. it took a long time for them to stage it in a full broadway production, during which beauty and the beast, the lion king, aida, tarzan and the cameron mackintosh-disney venture mary poppins took to the stage. in bringing the little mermaid to the stage, the writers went back to the original development stage of the animated feature and restored some of the original ideas. well, here's the original broadway cast recording of the little mermaid. the show didn't receive good reviews but the songs speak for themselves. really good. utilising all of the songs from the original feature, the story has been expanded and new songs written to complement the old songs. this time around, eric sings, king triton, flounder and even scuttle found their voices. ursula's voice goes up a few keys. it's old, it's new, but it's entertaining. anyway, have a listen to it. i love this cd!

Thanks for posting, I loved this movie as a kid. Great music in it.
And new songs? How cool.
The German dubbed version was not the best :/
