Man, there’s nothing like a good musical to bring out the girl in all of us, right? And that includes John Travolta who just loves, loves, luh-ves Broadway’s “The Little Mermaid.” He recently took his eight-year-old daughter, Ella, to see it, sitting in the front row and singing along to all the tunes, Page Six reports. On the plus side, he didn’t bound up on stage and join in. On the negative side, I’m sure he’s got an Ariel costume hanging in his closet that he takes out and wears on special occasions. Like Mondays.

When the show ended, he took the Golden Child (as opposed to his sixteen-year-old son, Jett, who we never, ever see) and her twenty-six friends backstage for photos with the cast. That’s when he really started to get into the whole experience:

“He was touching all the costumes, he looked amazed. He said he was way, way into the show. He stayed backstage for a while.”

I can imagine. I bet John wishes his life was one big musical number after the next. He should really look into doing a show on Broadway. I’m thinking maybe one about the life of Liberace. He’d be fabulous in all those pretty, pretty costumes with the jewels and the feathers. It’s a part he was born to play.

And I guess this answers the question I asked yesterday as to where JT is when wife Kelly is off appearing at the opening of everything and anything, up to and including an envelope. She’s in LA and he’s in New York. Which is really going to make conceiving that much desired (at least to hear Kelly tell it) third child difficult.
