\u00a0The &#8220;Kiss the Girl&#8221; number was most enjoyable. \u00a0From little tykes playing the waves and fish, to the older performers playing the central characters it was a great performance.<\/p>\n<p>Special commendation needs to be given to the actor who played Ursula. \u00a0Wow! \u00a0That girl can sing. \u00a0My husband, a high school band and choir instructor, was floored
