Little Mermaid Live! Numbers Ranked
little-mermaid-live-poor-unfortunate-souls-reprise
6. 'Poor Unfortunate Souls (Reprise)'
This 11th-hour number was yet another surprise delight from Queen Latifah. Let me tell you, I gasped when I saw her appear in Vanessa's mirror.
little-mermaid-live-finale
12. 'Finale'
This wasn't bad, but it was also barely a number. (Nice dress, though.)
little-mermaid-live-under-the-sea
5. 'Under the Sea'
This Academy Award-winning ocean anthem is arguably The Little Mermaid's most iconic number, and Shaggy — with a major assist from that army of puppets — did it justice. (There's a sentence you probably never thought you'd read, huh?)
little-mermaid-live-daughters-of-triton
7. 'Daughters of Triton'
Amber Riley belting to the gods turned this somewhat forgettable song into a full-blown show stopper. She's an honorary daughter of Triton in our book.
little-mermaid-live-kiss-the-girl
9. 'Kiss the Girl'
This was not the flashy spectacle we were hoping for. (Seriously, where were those sexy Boyz II Men flamingos?!)
little-mermaid-live-if-only
4. 'If Only'
This duet was so good, we totally ignored the fact that Ariel isn't actually supposed to have a singing voice at this point...?
little-mermaid-live-part-of-your-world
2. 'Part of Your World'
Ariel's highly anticipated entrance more than lived up to our expectations. Those vocals! Those acrobatics! Nightmarish Flounder puppet aside, this was perfection.
little-mermaid-live-poor-unfortunate-souls
1. 'Poor Unfortunate Souls'
We were a little taken aback by all those new lyrics, but no complaints. All hail Queen Latifah!
little-mermaid-live-les-poissons
11. 'Les Poissons'
John Stamos remains as much an American treasure as The Little Mermaid, but this number was pure chaos — and not in a good way. (Also, what was that line about "Prince Albert"?)
little-mermaid-live-her-voice
3. 'Her Voice'
We only have one complaint about this gorgeous ballad from the Broadway production: Why did they have to condense it? To quote Ariel, "I want mooooore."
little-mermaid-live-fathoms-below
8. 'Fathoms Below'
This was a high-energy way to kick off the night, and we really enjoyed what we were able to hear... over the piercing screams of the audience, of course.
little-mermaid-live-part-of-your-world-reprise
10. 'Part of Your World (Reprise)'
Look, we appreciated the iconic splash at the end, but something about this brief number just felt... flat.
