"[Director Jon] Tisevich spoke with much enthusiasm about his “Little Mermaid” cast, which resulted from an unusually extensive audition process.
"We had a great turnout at the original open call... but we decided to expand the search and do a second round (for the roles of Ariel and Prince Eric), focusing on the northern market. We had people from all over the Cleveland area, Baldwin-Wallace, Kent students. A girl drove over from Indiana."
Playing the title character, Ariel, is Kaelin Curran, a 19-year-old Kent State University freshman. "She was singing "Part of Your World" and the minute she hit the money note at the end, the entire team knew 'there she is.' She has 'it.' I doubt she's going to be in Ohio for long after college." - Canton Repository
