I was so keen to find more about this show and how it it engineered. After spending some time on internet, I realized that Sebastian will not be in the lobster costume, and Ariel's dad will be a black actor and Ariel's costume is designed so that the tail is not the part of the legs but attached to the actress' hip to the side of her body. Hope they do wonderful on the B'way.
I have been following the creation of this show for four years and I was mortified by the strike and the effect it had on the show still in previews. I feel like if the strike had gone on any longer the show might have been cancled. Curtains is already feeling the strain many shows are. It has a teriffic cast and a somewhat interesting design, but the book sounds not-so-great. All that aside the new music is what makes it great.
