The CD I'm listening to right now is the Broadway cast recording of The Little Mermaid. I was really excited to hear that this show was coming to Broadway, as it's probably my favourite Disney movie, and has really great songs already. As with the other Disney movie musical adaptations, the challenge is in filling out the score with songs that match the ones that are already there, and that fit properly in the story. And for the most part, The Little Mermaid succeeds. There are a few misses ("She's in Love" sounds very much like something you've heard before), but overall if you're a fan of the film, it's fun to hear some new takes on these great songs. I'm looking forward to seeing it on stage! In the meantime, listen to a clip from the recording, or check out some of the other Disney movie-to-musical adaptions, Beauty and the Beast or Lion King.

This is a picture of Clay Aiken in costume as Sir Robin in Spamalot on Broadway. How fun! I haven't had a chance to see him yet, but I'm sure he's very good. I must admit I'm not an American Idol follower at all, but I did watch Clay when he was on the show because several friends told me I'd like him. They were right. :-) (This was after Simon had accused him of being "too Broadway"...like that's a bad thing!) Visit my Spamalot pages for more about the show!

"When I was younger, just a bad little kid, My momma noticed funny things I did. Like shootin' puppies with a BB-Gun. I'd poison guppies, and when I was done, I'd find a pussy-cat and bash in it's head. That's when my momma said... (What did she say?) She said my boy I think someday You'll find a way To make your natural tendencies pay... You'll be a dentist. " -- Little Shop of Horrors
