Dive "Under the Sea" for a swimmingly good time as one of Disney's favorite princesses splashes to life in this Broadway musical adaptation.

When she makes a dangerous deal with Ursula, the Sea Witch, she begins a race against the setting sun to find true love. Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories, and Disney's movie of the same name, Disney's The Little Mermaid features classic songs by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken such as "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl," "Part of Your World" and more!
