About
Ariel, a spirited mermaid princess, yearns for a life beyond the sea. Driven by curiosity and a desire for adventure, she longs to explore the world above. When she falls in love with a handsome human prince, Ariel’s determination to experience the world above grows even stronger.
Facing a difficult choice, Ariel must make a daring sacrifice to fulfill her dream. She bargains with Ursula the Sea Witch, giving up her voice in exchange for a pair of legs. Guided by her loyal friends, Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull, and Sebastian the crab, Ariel embarks on a perilous quest to win the heart of Prince Eric before time runs out.
Based on the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale and the wildly popular Disney film, this musical staging of The Little Mermaid features a funny and fanciful book by Doug Wright, with the beloved score by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, and Glenn Slater in an expanded but completely faithful form. Enjoy the rambunctious and persuasive “Under the Sea,” the romantic expectation of “Kiss the Girl,” and that anthem to longing and belonging, “Part of Your World.”
