Beyond My Wildest Dreams

I saw The Little Mermaid on Broadway two times.  I saw in in January 2008 and again on Easter the same year.  It was one of the greatest shows I had ever seen.  The cast was amazing, the set and costumes were phenomenal, and the songs were exceptional as always with Alan Menken, Glenn Slater, and Howard Ashman.

Sierra Boggess was a beautiful Princess Ariel and was a perfect match for the part and sat very well with the critics.  Her voice was incredible, just like Jodi Benson.  Sherie Rene Scott played the notorious sea witch Ursula and did fantastic as well.  The whole entire cast sounded flawless on the whole soundtrack, but those two stars are the ones who stood out the most to me.

My favorite song in the musical is "Beyond My Wildest Dreams" which Ariel sings in her mind due to her stolen voice.
