I agree with you. She is the best Ariel and Christine ever. I can’t agree on her being the best Cosette ever though because I have never heard her or seen her as Cosette.
Sierra...is..she...just...WOW!!!!!!!! And sean palmer is so...just UGH! I'm jealous!!!!! THEY MAKE IT SEEM SO FLOWY AND SIMPLE AND...UGH! It makes me mad because i didn't see this when it came and now it's GONE!!!
Sierra is soo beautiful she is my favorite musical actress and Sean is so adorable!!! he is a perfekt dancer and his voices is soooo warm wonderful i love him in that role
Eric:So, What happened? Did an accident happen when you were small? (creepy voice) Or maybe goblins came and stole your voice at night? Poor Ariel! She turns away, and grabs her throat as if to say, "Yeah. Something like that."
It's DEAD OBVIOUS that Eric and Ariel DESERVE each other, because they're both WILD, LOOSE, and FREE!!! LOL XD Example: When Eric said, "You should see the princesses Grimsby drags her. So prim and BORING!!! But you! Oooh! You're practically swinging from the chandeliers! LOL
I remember when I was in the little mermaid, we went and sang at Barnes and nobles, and the guy who played grimsby came, wearing his costume, which was a thick velvet suit with knee high, boots. And it was sooooo hot outside. But he had a great time! We all did.
This dance between Ariel-Sierra and Eric-Sean are so beautiful. I really wish that this Broadway musical had been a live action movie and on dvd with Sierra Boggess as Ariel, Sean Palmer as Prince Eric and the rest original cast from the Broadway musical since I saw it. It's so much in this musical that I love.
Eric: So if you don't mind me asking. What was it? An accident when you were small or (creepy voice) maybe goblins came and stole your voice at night? Like I said before, poor Ariel. She turned away, grabbing her throat as if to say, "Yeah. Something like that."
You can really feel the chemistry between Ariel in this scene. Sierra and Sean we’re both perfect these rolls. I also bet they’re this adorable in real life.
this is my favorite part of the show and my favorite song! i'm a dancer so i absolutly love one step closer. speaks to me. lol. and sierra went to my church when she was younger! she brought two of the actors to service one time and it was sooooo cool!
I wonder how old Sean Palmer was when he started acting. Well, I mean performing. Must've started off VERY YOUNG!!! Sean Palmer, as I understand is EXACTLY 18 years older than me. I just so happen to share the same birthday as him. January 23. Only he was 1971, and I was 1989. Well, that's the ONLY thing we have in common. Nothing more I assure you.
Actually, Les Poissons came before Be Our Guest. The Little Mermaid was made in '89 and Beauty and the Beast in '91. Just a fun fact. =D This is one of the cutest numbers I've ever seen! And I've seen alot! I love this song! XD ♥
Yes, I know, but I think they played up the similarities between the two songs when writing the Les Possons reprise, with Eric's servants bustling around like the Beast's servants in Be Our Guest.
Wish I could be Ariel just for this scene, I'd punch my best friend just do play her and do this 😂 I'd be crying during the scene itself the feels get me
What I don't get really - is the fact that I always thought mermaids ate fish themselves. So even when I was young a lot of the little mermaid made me wonder.
Actually it's the other way around. Sierra played Christine in the Las Vegas version of Phantom in 2006. It was there that she caught the attention of a Disney executive who watched her performance. They asked her to audition for TLM on Broadway. While she was doing TLM in 2008 Andrew Lloyd Webber called her to do a workshop for Love Never Dies. But he never saw her in Mermaid. It was through her success of LND that led Andrew to cast her in the 25th Anniversary concert of POTO.
@defygrav12 The reason I put emphisis on the word both is because how you stated your last comment. You didn't seem to understand Alan had an enormous hand in the creative proccess for this show. Just as he did for Beauty and the Beast. Alan has stated his love for both of these projects but would never try to copy one just for the sake of it. This is Alan envisioned it for the stage. If you find it strange and poorly executed then you are more then entitled to your opinion.
@Silver54ful Peh. You write as if I don't know who Alan Menken is....heh. (Also.."both?" Why quotes?) You can hardly argue that this showy version is like its original film form, which did indeed come first. What I'm arguing is that when Disney amped up their staged "Be Our Guest" to include heavy dance-break extensions, it was fresh but in line with the original intent of the song. These dance-break extensions not only sound almost exactly the same as BatB, but are odd and contrived.
@defygrav12 Les Poissons was written well before Be Our Guest. The Little Mermaid came out in 1989 while Beauty and the Beast was released in 1991. And if you don't like that there's a similar melody then take it up with Alan Menken. He composed "both" of these films and was apart of creative process for "both" of the Broadway productions as well.
The reprise of Les Poissons was written as an inside joke for the writers and composers. Its, not so subtle, similarities were put in by the original composer of both songs, Alan Menken. You can tell that he has put in his own opinion of the film to stage transfer for both shows into the song.
i also noticed the similarity between Les Poissons and Be our guest. But no wonder - they all were composed by Alan Menken. (by the way, if you listen closely to A Whole new world from the Aladdin, there is a moment, when the music theme remids of Beauty and the Beast song)))
A little detail that I just noticed: during the entire song, whenever they waltz his hand is on her waist and her hand is on his shoulder. It is the "classic" way. He is trying to lead her through the song, introducing her to a new way of speaking. At the end, Ariel reverses it, putting her hand on his waist. In that moment, she is letting him know that she wants to tell him something.
@JanesseaRoshan The Broadway board feared that they were giving Disney too much in their field. Disney, after all, produced Beauty & The Beast and The Little Mermaid. It would have been too unfair for the other musicals.
that is just like "Be our Guest" but the same guy wrote the music for beauty and the beast so i don't really mind. lol it's no big deal if he steals from himself.(;
well, it was composed by the same person.....and produced by the same company.....for basically the same genre......so I would imagine it would sound very similar.
My theory is that Sierra was already adorable but then she had to become Disney princess level adorable and then she just never stopped.
If you ever see the behind the scenes of phantom that's basically what happened!
EXACTLY
I feel like Sierra doesn't even have to act when she's Ariel. She's practically her adorable self!
Reagan Elizabeth truuuue!
I agree.
Oh don't mind me, I'm just crying over how freaking adorable "one step closer" is
Me too ❤
Sierra is SO adorable!!!like... i can't even... i have the biggest crush on her
And I have a huge crush on sean Palmer. I seriously want him. Specially when he is Prince Eric Hahaha.
I can't imagine how hard it would be to play the part of Ariel. She has to portray so much emotion without speaking...man that's got to be tough
The adorableness of Sierra is unmatched. 😍😍😍
Sierra was born to play this role
5:37 When they finally come together in a waltz... the most magical musical moment in the entire show
Oh, man. Sierra's so wonderful in this scene, and so is Sean!
Oh, man. Sierra's so wonderful in this scene, and so is Sean!
Adorable! I love Sierra. She's my idol! Best Ariel,Christine and cosette Ever!:))
I agree with you. She is the best Ariel and Christine ever. I can’t agree on her being the best Cosette ever though because I have never heard her or seen her as Cosette.
The girl that played Ariel is so adorable
I don't know why I cried when I hear One Step Closer when I was in New York. it's a beautiful song
Sierra...is..she...just...WOW!!!!!!!! And sean palmer is so...just UGH! I'm jealous!!!!! THEY MAKE IT SEEM SO FLOWY AND SIMPLE AND...UGH! It makes me mad because i didn't see this when it came and now it's GONE!!!
for someone who's never dances before, Ariel picked it up pretty quickly :D
Goodness, if a guy were to sing this to me, I'd be in his arms faster than he could say "snarflatt" XD
Awwwww! He fell in love with her towards the end when she layed her head on his chest! (':
🥰
I just love how Sierra plays Ariel. So perfect!
Sierra is soo beautiful she is my favorite musical actress and Sean is so adorable!!! he is a perfekt dancer and his voices is soooo warm wonderful i love him in that role
Sean Palmer is very INSPIRATIONAL!!! He's done SOOO MUCH!!!
Sierra was simply made to play this part. I find her absolutely perfect!
Sierra makes an adorable Ariel!! So innocent and sweet!!
And her dress is lovely too !
Angel of Music!
I love how they made an instrumental song into a song with lyrics!
Eric is great at acting and singing so is Ariel
for someone who's never danced before, Ariel picked it up pretty quickly :D
Finally! There is someone who appriciates Sean as Eric. Thank you. :)
One Step Closer is SO adorable!!!!
Love "One Step Closer."
Does this remind anyone of "Beauty and the Beast"?
CupcakesRock13 this song sounds like be our guest
Yes,but in this case... ARIEL is the Beast. She is the one who changes
Ricardo Bauler has think they meant Les poissons (reprise) but it’s an interesting way of looking at things
Eric:So, What happened? Did an accident happen when you were small? (creepy voice) Or maybe goblins came and stole your voice at night?
Poor Ariel! She turns away, and grabs her throat as if to say, "Yeah. Something like that."
It's DEAD OBVIOUS that Eric and Ariel DESERVE each other, because they're both WILD, LOOSE, and FREE!!! LOL XD Example: When Eric said, "You should see the princesses Grimsby drags her. So prim and BORING!!! But you! Oooh! You're practically swinging from the chandeliers! LOL
"BE OUR GUEST, BE OUR GUEST--"
Oh wait, wrong musical. ;P
This would be my favorite scene!
I remember when I was in the little mermaid, we went and sang at Barnes and nobles, and the guy who played grimsby came, wearing his costume, which was a thick velvet suit with knee high, boots. And it was sooooo hot outside. But he had a great time! We all did.
Alan Menken wrote the music for Beauty and the Beast AND the Little Mermaid. I think that's the point in Les Poissons.
Sierra and...Eric...haha...Erik...if only Ramin got the part of Erik...Oh wait! He already did...I meant PRINCE Eric!
one step closer is my favorite scene in the whole musical! i adore Sierra!!!
It'd be awesome if I could learn the choreography to this. Sierra is so adorable :3
I love Sierra!!! She is my favorite!!!
This dance between Ariel-Sierra and Eric-Sean are so beautiful.
I really wish that this Broadway musical had been a live action movie and on dvd with Sierra Boggess as Ariel, Sean Palmer as Prince Eric and the rest original cast from the Broadway musical since I saw it.
It's so much in this musical that I love.
Eric: So if you don't mind me asking. What was it? An accident when you were small or (creepy voice) maybe goblins came and stole your voice at night?
Like I said before, poor Ariel. She turned away, grabbing her throat as if to say, "Yeah. Something like that."
I wish that dancing scene was in the movie. SO beautiful.
THE BEST THING EVER I LOVED IT SIERRA HAS SO MUCH TALENT!!! everyone in the cast does!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Coming back to the "Les poisson" reprise while high later...
I'm starting to feel like I'm the only one who loved Sean Palmer as Eric.
He's so great , and handsome too !
I thought it was funny in 1:46 where Chef Louis says "I got you now" and Sebastion pinches Louis' nose so that he can get away.
I'm in this show at my local theater and this is by far my favorite scene to watch! It was either this or she's in love but the entire show is great
I love this dance number! I love them both!!!!!!!!!
You can really feel the chemistry between Ariel in this scene. Sierra and Sean we’re both perfect these rolls. I also bet they’re this adorable in real life.
Eric's reaction 07:19
right in the feels
Julie Barros like “oh damn. Right into my heart. So cute and funny”
this is my favorite part of the show and my favorite song! i'm a dancer so i absolutly love one step closer. speaks to me. lol. and sierra went to my church when she was younger! she brought two of the actors to service one time and it was sooooo cool!
Well from 3:27 is originally an instrumental song. I think it's played when Ariel sees Eric for the first time on the ship :)
I absolutely adore this musical!!! never seen it, probably never will. but it's beautiful.
Sierra is so cute as Ariel!
This made me cry :( It's so...Awwwww!!
I was lucky enough to watch this live on Broadway. Same cast and everything.
I love the song One Step Closer it is so beautiful ^_^
Sierra Boggess,!!!!!!!!I love her she is my favorite actress
this is gonna be me and my future husband someday so beautiful
Good Lord, I'm swooning. Where do I find a guy like that? And why wasn't that song in the movie?
I just love how Ariel is so horrified at the fact that they’re eating fish in this scene! 😆😂🤣
I suppose she eats fish too
I wonder how old Sean Palmer was when he started acting. Well, I mean performing. Must've started off VERY YOUNG!!! Sean Palmer, as I understand is EXACTLY 18 years older than me. I just so happen to share the same birthday as him. January 23. Only he was 1971, and I was 1989. Well, that's the ONLY thing we have in common. Nothing more I assure you.
Actually, Les Poissons came before Be Our Guest. The Little Mermaid was made in '89 and Beauty and the Beast in '91. Just a fun fact. =D
This is one of the cutest numbers I've ever seen! And I've seen alot! I love this song! XD ♥
we have performed this last night at prom during the intermission and it was so unforgettable. :D
Yes, I know, but I think they played up the similarities between the two songs when writing the Les Possons reprise, with Eric's servants bustling around like the Beast's servants in Be Our Guest.
When they were singing Les Poissons fast it kinda sounded like be our guest.
this is the same melody in the movie when he was dancing with the sailors on the ship
Wish I could be Ariel just for this scene, I'd punch my best friend just do play her and do this 😂 I'd be crying during the scene itself the feels get me
just gonna take a wild stab in the dark here and say that Ariel is a herbivore
Squeeee that entire Eric/Ariel dance scene was the cutest thing in the world!! :D
I wish I could find my Prince Eric!
sierra boggess is just too cute!!
I meant the chemistry between Ariel and Eric.
What I don't get really - is the fact that I always thought mermaids ate fish themselves. So even when I was young a lot of the little mermaid made me wonder.
What else ?
It’s 2023 and i’m still coming back to it
I WANNA DANCE THAT. ;D
Ariel musta lost her appetite at dinner. Poor girl. ;(
Melody's parents no doubt about it.
4:58 give and take
5:42 beginning of waltz
@piminiminimini hey you're right, they use the instrumental of "Be Our Guest".
Pretty damn good for a first time dancer ;)
man, I wish that happened in real life!
one step closerr to youuuuuuuuuuuuuu:D
how romantic
Actually it's the other way around. Sierra played Christine in the Las Vegas version of Phantom in 2006. It was there that she caught the attention of a Disney executive who watched her performance.

SIERRA.IS.THE.BEST.ARIEL.EVER!
Thank you for uploading the whole musical! I have really enjoyed it.
the dance in like a conversation made me CRY! that was gorgeous! :')
@defygrav12 The reason I put emphisis on the word both is because how you stated your last comment. You didn't seem to understand Alan had an enormous hand in the creative proccess for this show.

One thing I JUST realised. Sierra Boggess doesn't actually talk/SING for a good part of this........
