The Little Mermaid Celebrates Its One Year Anniversary On Broadway

The Little Mermaid musical celebrates its one-year anniversary on Broadway today. It officially opened last year on January 10.

THE LITTLE MERMAID was the #1 selling new Broadway musical of 2008, grossing over $60 million to date. Terry Teachout of The Wall Street Journal raved, "I expect it to run from here to eternity and back again. I'd see it again in a heartbeat." The Philadelphia Inquirer declared the show "a triumph of stagecraft." The Chicago Tribune hailed THE LITTLE MERMAID a "tidal wave of stellar performances!"


Still, it got not-so-glowing to awful review from many other theater critics. It remains to be seen how well it stacks up with the other Disney musicals, especially The Lion King.
