Auli'i Cravalho who voiced 'Moana' will star as Ariel.
Others were quick to point out that if fans like Auli'i as Ariel, they should have no problem with Halle Bailey as Ariel, either.People were initially outraged when Halle was cast, because she didn't have red hair or look like the animated Ariel that most of us are familiar with. But Auli'i looks nothing like Ariel, either ... so how is that any different?
Don't be a hypocrite, y'all. Halle will make an awesome Ariel, and so will Auli'i. All we gotta do is sit back and enjoy it.It seems like this musical is already shaping up to be pretty entertaining, judging by this cast announcement. Hopefully, more updates are coming soon.
