Jodi Benson and Daughter Delaney Benson Sing ‘For A Moment’ from THE LITTLE MERMAID 2

Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in the original animated film, and her daughter Delaney Benson teamed up for a performance of the mother-daughter duet ‘For A Moment’ from The Little Mermaid 2.

“When I recorded this, I was 8 months pregnant with [Delaney],” says Jodi Benson in the video. “So to be behind the mic with this song with Tara Strong, who played my daughter Melody, and now to be standing on the stage, I’m not freaking out at all, am I? It’s very surreal and it’s an honor to get to sing this song with you.”

Delaney recently starred in an immersive production of The Little Mermaid at Miami’s Area Stage, where she was visited by her mother. The pair also starred as Mama Rose and Louise in Gypsy at OFC Creations in Florida earlier this year. Watch the performance below!
