From unforgettable vocal performances by celebrities to colorful costume contests, 'The Little Mermaid: An Immersive Live-to-Film Concert Experience' surely captivated the attention of many. The performance gave a stage to stars like Lea Michele from Glee who played Ariel, Peter Gallagher from The O.C., Harvey Fierstein from Mrs. Doubtfire and more. The actors were accompanied live by a full orchestra. Aside from the main act, individuals were also able to enjoy "a quirky old-time-Hollywood introduction" and a score by Emily Bear -- "a seventeen-year-old sensation."
