The concept is great, but it's flawed. Live Ariel is pretty boring. Would've liked to see a live version of King Triton so the ending could be live. I was happily surprised to see Graham Phillips as Prince Eric since I'm a huge fan of The Good Wife. John Stamos was funny as the chef, but even he needed more energy. Shaggy as Sebastian was OK. Amber Riley and the ALWAYS FABULOUS Queen Latifah were the best of the live performances. Wonderful, colorful visuals, puppetry, and arielist gymnastics added a lot. It was good, but it could've been so much better.
