Join us as we bring kids ages 7 through 17 together on stage for a truly family-oriented theatrical experience for all ages. Disney?s The Little Mermaid brings all the beloved characters you know from the book and film to life on stage.

Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney's The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages. With music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its irresistible songs including "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl," and "Part of Your World."

In a magical kingdom beneath the sea, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel (Cara Dipietro - Norfolk, MA), longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above.

Ariel, King Triton's (Nate April - Mansfield, MA) youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric (Matt Neary - Mansfield, MA) in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula (Cat Sapovits ? Mansfield, MA), to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends, Flounder the fish (Gabriel Corey ? Franklin, MA), Scuttle the seagull (Martin Horwath ? Uxbridge, MA) and Sebastian the crab (George Potenza ? Foxboro, MA) to restore order under the sea.
