BREAKDOWN
[ARIEL]
(Female, 21-30, Ab3-Gb5 with strong high belt) A strong-willed mermaid who longs to be human. She possesses a keen curiosity for the world both under and above the sea – much to the chagrin of her father, King Triton. Big-hearted, she’s more accepting of and delighted by others’ differences than most of her fellow merfolk, but she also has a rebellious streak that can get her into trouble.
[PRINCE ERIC]
(Male, 25-35, B2-G4) Prince Eric is the adventurous human monarch who captures Ariel’s heart. Charming and sensitive in nature, he has a warm voice and demeanor that evoke his flair for romance. There is also a stubborn side to the Prince, who is determined to do whatever it takes to get what he wants – including the girl with the mysterious voice.
[SEBASTIAN]
(Male, 25-35, Bb2-C5, African American) The choirmaster of King Triton’s court who has a flair for the dramatic. A meticulous and uptight crab, Sebastian is ever-anxious, whether he’s conducting a concert premiere or protecting Ariel from Ursula. When he’s performing – which is almost always – he’s undeniably charismatic. He should be able to perform a broad send-up of a Caribbean accent.
[URSULA]
(Female, 40-60, Eb3-C5, strong belt) The voluptuous and manipulative Sea Witch who is sister to King Triton. Jealous of Ariel’s voice and her beauty, she schemes to destroy Ariel and steal her brother’s throne. Brassy, manipulative, and vindictive, she relies on her larger-than-life confidence that to achieve her evil intentions.
[KING TRITON]
(Male, 35-45, Ab2-F4) King of the Sea and a harried single father to seven girls, struggles to balance his political and paternal powers. A widower, Triton is as fond of his daughters as he is frustrated with their teenage angst. Even when unsure of his parenting technique, he is a tender patriarch who becomes a royal force to be reckoned with when Ariel’s safety and happiness is threatened by his sister, the Sea Witch Ursula.
