    35 years after the original animated film came out. Jodi must be so proud of her daughter, Delaney.

    See? They could’ve casted Benson’s daughter in the live action film!

      I literally said before I clicked on this that “I bet there’s gonna be a comment saying that her daughter should’ve played Ariel in the live action film instead” And what do you know? Never fails.

    They should’ve had her play Ariel in the live action film. Not because I don’t like Halle Bailey, but because it would’ve been merely a fun tribute.

    I'd heard of The Little Mermaid on Broadway before but I think this is an offical show.
    Esspecially if it's starting the daughter of Jodi Benson herself.

    • @molls127
      @molls127 Před měsícem

      it's not being produced by Disney if that's what you mean. it's available for licensing for local theatres as well as a few school versions. it is the Broadway production minus the rollerskates 😂

    Delaney really takes after her mother, doesn’t she?

  • @bakerofcookiesandloverofmovies

    That is awesome!👏 I am so happy for both of them!☺️
    Wait! If she’s qualified to play Ariel on Broadway, THEN WHY DIDN’T SHE GET CASTED TO PLAY THE NEW ARIEL IN THE LIVE ACTION DISNEY FILM???!!!!!😠😠😠😠😠 That would have made a much bigger impact for the audience!😫😫😫

    Hard to accept that THE LITTLE MERMAID will be 35 years old November 17…..

    Sabrina Carpenter is perfect to voice act thumbelina with Alex Aiono as the voice of prince cornelius in a CGI animation remake for the 30th Anniversary 🌻🌼🌷🌺🌸💮🌹

      No, Delaney clearly has talent on her own.
      If you want an example of nepotism in action, look at the infamous "North West as young Simba at the Hollywood Bowl" debacle from a couple months ago.
