If Only- The Little Mermaid on Broadway

A Mix of Pictures& Clips from the Little Mermaid On Broadway with the song If Only:



Ariel:
If only you could know the things I long to say.
If only I could tell you what I wish I could convey.
It's in my ev'ry glance.
My heart's an open book.
You'd see it all at once if only you would look.

If only you could glimpse the feeling that I feel.
If only you would notice what I'm dying to reveal.
The dreams I can't declare, the needs I can't deny.
You'd understand them all if only you would try.

All my secrets you would learn them.
All my longings you'd return them.
All my shackles, they'd be broken.
Not a word would need be spoken.

Eric:
What is it about her thats so wonderfully, impossibily familiar?
Why do I feel dizzy in a way I've only felt but once before?
How come when she looks at me it seems like time stops moving
Almost like the way it did that day upon the shore?
But that voice!

Ariel:
If only it were true.
If only for a while.

Eric:
Ah, that voice!

Ariel:
If only you would notice how I ache behind my smile.

Eric:
Where's that voice?

Ariel:
I guess you never will.
I guess it doesn't show.
But if I never find a way to tell you so.
Oh, what I would give if only you could know.

Price Eric:
Memories fade, strange how they blur but when she calls to me, i'll know its her

That's not her voice.

[WATCHandLEARNxx]

what do you mean..?

[WATCHandLEARNxx]

yeahh, its not.

its a demo version

[DefyingxGravityy]

In Ariel's part, it's not "Then the silence would be broken." from what I hear, it's "All my shackles, they'd be broken."

Just saying :) great slideshow! I love this song!

[WATCHandLEARNxx]

I have a question... are Ursula and Ariel related? Like an aunt?

I saw that question in a quiz once. But never got the right answer, and in th musical Ursula sings that her father on his deathbed divided the sea into two, her and triton - who also got the trident. Are they siblings?

I love this version better than the final one, with it just being Ariel and Eric, except for the "shackles" bit. I prefer the line about the "silence" being broken instead. It fits into the story better.

[MUSEmaniakOO]

is the singer in this Sierra Boggess?

[ritsfata]

Man, this is actually really well written.

[BubblegumPopMusic13]

@athiraa in the musical she is ariels aunt, in the movie shes just the evil sea witch who got banished and in the original story shes just a sea witch, she wasnt banished, shes not evil or looking to rule the kingdom she just takes ariels voice in return for ariels three days to try to woo the prince, but if she doesnt shell turn into sea foam, the prince ends up marrying a girl he thinks saved him and ariel ends up almost killing him to save herself but instead doesnt and goes to heaven

[rashidude]

@athiraa Ursula is Triton's sister

[Nilie]

@athiraa In the movie version, King Triton banished Ursula from his palace, and the sea witch wanted revenge. Simple as that. She could be either version, since there aren't precisions in the scripts revealed.

[Nilie]

@athiraa In the musical they are siblings, Triton and Ursula. -Sweet child-"You can't possibly mean... Aunt Ursula?" Though that arguably wasn't always the base for canon :) Some say Ursula was originally meant to have this background where she used to be bitter about her unrequited love for him. I personally prefer the canon established in the musical version.

@WATCHandLEARNxx

its ok no one is perfect right. hehehehe

keep it up...

[hanonanne]

just wonderful. This version is beautiful. I can relate to it....

[oOSammarieOo]

@WATCHandLEARNxx nooo it's just the difference between broadway's track and the soundtrack's track. i bought The Little Mermaid Original Broadway Soundtrack off of iTunes and Sierra Boggess sings "then the silence would be broken", but the broadway version definitely is "all my shackles, they'd be broken" :P
