It is no secret that  Little Diva adores Disney, especially the princesses. Among her favorites is Ariel. She loves mermaids and of course, Sebastian the crab (and so I , by the way)! So when I heard that the live musical of Little Mermaid was coming to the Bass Concert Hall, I jumped at the chance. We thoroughly enjoyed last year's Beauty and the Beast. I personally was very impressed by how well the beloved film was transferred to the stage. I expect that this will be true of The Little Mermaid, as well.   The Austin premiere of this Broadway production includes all of our favorite songs including "Under the Sea" and "Part of Your World". I am pretty sure there will be some serious singing along going on. In fact, I may or may not be singing right now!  So if you are singing along too, join me next week at Bass Concert Hall and see if he really does "Kiss the Girl"!
