Various people on the broadwayworld.com forums have said that Sierra Boggess, who is currently playing the role of Christine in the Las Vegas production of Phantom has been cast as Ariel.

Based on the pictures of her I've seen, visually she seems perfect for the part, and those in the Mermaid Casting thread who have seen her, say she has a wonderful singing voice.

Several more people have reiterated that Sierra is Ariel.

Also there is talk that underwater movement in the show will be done with roller skates, or to be more specific, more like Healys where the skate is only in the heel of the shoe.
