Sheh has a lovely voice but most of us are expecting a mixy pop sound up there. If they make her more of a soprano that's fine with me. You'll still have Sherie Rene up there belting to the rafters, so it will be nice for contrast.
She was not awful it was just not as playful I think Ariel's voice should be. "Under The Sea" is going to be a really amazing number I think. The next circle of life.

Makes me very excited! Tituss is TONS better than the Sebastian on the demo recording! Sierra sounds great, maybe a little too forceful, but I'll get used to it!
It's always nice to hear an amazing soprano coming to Broadway in this age of powerhouse belters. But...hearing Sherie blow the roof won't be so bad either...

You took the words right out of my mouth! Maybe she can go "poppy" for some of the other songs, but Part of Your World should be sung triumphantly and full of determination.
PS~ Now how about some Sherie demos!!!
"The nice thing about the rain is that it always stops... eventually."
well, lets get real, it was literally like 8 words. So, I'm not going to start judging at all, but I have to say she sounds good. And do agree I got an impression that Under the Sea could turn out to be a huge showstopper. I hope the show goes well this summer!
I don't get the Kerry obsession. She was very good on the Hairspray OBC but I hated her in Little Shop as well as the Little Mermaid demo. She was just all wrong vocally for it. Kerry does NOT have the most beautiful voice, and this role requires one.

For what little there was to listen to, I generally liked it. I especially enjoyed Sebastian's voice. Wasn't as sold on Sierra. But again, there was, like, 10 seconds to go off of. I'm looking forward to when they get whole songs uploaded.
kerry butler is so old looking to me. i just dont see what the whole "ariel" obsession is. her voice is pretty grating too. Stop trying to have another Jodi Benson (who is nothing like Kerry). Sierra is a beautiful girl with a soaring soprano and just the type for this role. (in my opinion) it's ariel not lady macbeth.

Kerry is amazing, and she was wonderful on The Little Mermaid demo. She has a perfect match for Alan Menken songs. And Alan Menken obviously loved her enough to have her sing at "Part Of Your World: The Music of Alan Menken" and make him cry. Kerry is amazing, and people obviously like her enough to cast her in things.
