Children’s Theatre audiences will be taken on a journey under the sea with Ariel and her aquatic friends in Disney's The Little Mermaid JR., adapted from Disney's Broadway production and the motion picture. In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home – and her fins – behind and live in the world above. But first, she'll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she's the girl whose enchanting voice he's been seeking

Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr. will run from February 4th – April 8th. Following the season-opener, the year continues with the Disney collection and a production of Disney’s Cinderella. The fall will bring the regional premiere of the brand new Madagascar – A Musical Adventure, adapted from the hit Dreamworks film. Rounding out the season, for the holidays, will be the revival of the theatre’s own A Children’s Theatre Christmas Carol.

The Children’s Theatre at Way Off Broadway opened in 1996 as the Way Off Broadway Children’s Theatre with an original musical adaptation of Rapunzel. Since then, it has become a unique family entertainment destination where children can see some of their favorite characters come to life on the stage. From Sleeping Beauty to Snow White, Jack and his beanstalk to the Three Little Pigs, they have all appeared at Way Off Broadway in original adaptation written specifically for the theatre. In 2005, The Children’s Theatre was proud to have created and produced the world premiere production of Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree, based on Robert Barry’s book of the same name. 2011 saw the rebranding of the children’s productions as The Children’s Theatre at Way Off Broadway. This was also when there was a shift from adaptations of classic fairy tales to stage versions of popular children’s books and movies –- many of which came directly from the Disney Vault. These new blockbusters were shows like Disney’s 101 Dalmatians, Cinderella, Aladdin, Peter Pan, and Alice in Wonderland; two incredibly successful runs of Pinkalicious – The Musical; Nickelodeon’s Dora the Explorer Live! Dora’s Pirate Adventure; a premiere production of Molly Shannon’s Tilly the Trickster; and the area's first production of Junie B. Jones - The Musical.

The Children’s Theatre at Way Off Broadway is a part of The Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre, which, under the direction of the Kiska Family since 2002, will celebrate its 25th Silver Anniversary Season in 2019.
