Disney's The Little Mermaid at Musicals at Richter

Musicals at Richter (MAR), celebrating its 41st season as the longest-running outdoor theater in Connecticut, continues its summer offerings with “Disney’s The Little Mermaid,” playing July 25 to August 9.

Featuring a live band and a cast of 38 talented local actors, performances take place outdoors under the stars at the Richter Arts Center, 100 Aunt Hack Road, in Danbury, adjacent to the Richter Park Public Golf Course, just off I-84, Exit 2.

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 captures audiences’ hearts with its irresistible songs, including "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl" and "Part of Your World."
