The Little Mermaid had its premiere night the 10th and as with all openings there was a party after with the actors and creative staff plus guests. As mentioned in a previous post and every other site covering Mermaid Jonathan Freeman plays Grimsby in the stage show adaption of the almost 20 year old Disney animated feature. Time flies by so fast. God I feel old now with my 30 years.
Broadwayworld’s Walter McBride attended and brought his camera along. He took photos of Jodi and Pat, Jodi and Sierra and of course Alan Menken who’s been on the road since December promoting Enchanted, he even stopped by here in Amsterdam. Actually I don’t recall he was so big in the press for his work on all the animated features from the 90′s considering they were bigger then Enchanted in terms of box office and popularity it stakes me as odd.
But what really surprised me how much Jonathan Freeman seemed to have aged in barely 4 years I saw his interviews on Aladdin’s Special Edition DVD. Even in the 10+ years between archive recording footage and the interview he didn’t looked that much older.
