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.
I loved Halle as Ariel, but I do think having Delaney would’ve been a beautiful tribute. I wish Halle got to voice/play an original princess, maybe in the future.
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.
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 😂
@@molls127 I figured maybe not but wish it was though. And you're right about the skates. 😄 And I'd notice Scuttle is a puppet instead of a costume. I like that. Funny thing about most Disney Broadway shows is they all have bird characters but they're all played as costumes except Zazu from the Lion King. I don't know if it's a fresh idea but I think it'd be nice to see all the bird characters in these shows played as a puppet like Zazu. Not only is the puppet master the soul of the puppet but they can be dressed to look as what the birds would be in human form sort of. (If you're confused let me know.) 😅 But I bet Jodi's daughter has a voice just as pretty as hers. If things get better for Disney, I think it'd be an amazing thought if she plays her own character one day and traditional too.
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!😫😫😫
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.
This is a special mother daughter moment for Jodi and Delaney. ❤
She is her beautiful melody.
indeed!!

Nice reference to “The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea.”
@@darthkurland YAS! I HAD TO! Tara is quaking.
😂 leave tara alone jeeze@@musicaltheatrefan2k226
35 years after the original animated film came out. Jodi must be so proud of her daughter, Delaney.
Playing Princess Ariel is officially a family tradition in Jodi Benson's house.❤😢🧜♀️👩👧
Yep
See? They could’ve casted Benson’s daughter in the live action film!

It's not Casted, it's Cast...
Beyonce buy the role for halle unfortunately
I was thinking the exact same thing!
There’s always one in these types of announcements……the incels always come out
She has a great voice like her mom too!
This is amazing!!! I love how the daughter is following in her mom’s footsteps
I wish they would take this and broadcast this live I would gladly pay to watch this production. ❤
Wow. Full circle indeed.
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.
she's kind of old though lol ariel is supposed to be a teenager
@@molls127she's only 23 and a year younger than Halle
No, Halle was perfect, she's got better voice!!

Like mother, like daughter. Delany looks just like her mother.
2:03 like mother, like daughter.
Delaney really takes after her mother, doesn’t she?
Yes

Hard to accept that THE LITTLE MERMAID will be 35 years old November 17…..
And Jodi is still voicing Ariel to this day.
So sweet!! 💕💕
That is so cool! Good for her!
This video really made my day. ❤😍
She should also play Thumbelina.
Aww that's pretty cool! she is a good Ariel actor
That's mermazing.
She’s probably going to replace her mom one day as disneys regular voice for ariel
That's how you pass the torch.....should've been done for the Live Action Version....missed the mark Disney

sabrina is actually very tiny in real life
WOW… nepotism

But propaganda is your preference....
