Description:

Ariel should be a happy mermaid: she lives in an enchanted undersea country, her father is a King, and she has the most beautiful singing voice. But she is a passionate, headstrong teenager, and wants what she cannot have: to live on land. When she falls in love with a human prince, Ariel is more determined than ever to gain a pair of legs. But her only option is to bargain with Ursula the Sea Witch, giving her voice as the price of entry onto dry land. With the help of Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull, and Sebastian the crab, Ariel must wordlessly gain Prince Eric's love within three days, or lose her soul to the ambitious witch! Based on the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, and the wildly popular Disney film, this musical staging of Disney's The Little Mermaid features a funny and fanciful book by Doug Wright, with the beloved score by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, and Glenn Slater in an expanded but completely faithful form, featuring the hit songs  “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl,” and “Part of Your World.”

Approximate run time: 2 hours 30 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission.
