Daughters of Triton

movie demo broadway demo broadway abc live!

This is a part of the opening song of the concert that all seven of King Triton's daughters were supposed to perform. Of course, one particular red-headed princess failed to attend, causing the performance to grind to a halt. I always wonder how the song would have continued had she been there. Many thanks to Alex for the lyrics correction.

We are the daughters of Triton
Great father who loves us and named us well

Aquata
Andrina
Arista
Attina
Adella
Alana

And then there is the youngest in her musical debut
Our seventh little sister, we're presenting her to you
To sing the song Sebastian wrote, her voice is like a bell
She's our sister Ariel...

A synth demo version of this song was featured in the "Legacy Collection" album, performed by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. It has an extra section, which was understandably cut to tighten the scene up.

The Broadway demo of "Daughters of Triton" features extra lines restored from the earlier film's demo version of the song.

The Broadway version of "The Daughters Triton" is slower than the movie version, and they've snuck in a talkie line, along with an optimistic pause as the characters hope against hope that Ariel will arrive at the last second.

The ABC Live! concert introduces a new character "The Emcee", as performed by Amber Riley, who sings to introduce Ariel's sisters during the performance of their (slightly elongated) song.
