The Little Mermaid
Synopsis & Storyline
In a magical kingdom beneath the sea, a beautiful young mermaid named
Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. But
first, she'll have to defy her father - the king of the sea, escape
the clutches of an evil sea witch and convince a prince that she's the
girl with the perfect voice.
Based on one of the most beloved Disney films of all time and the
classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, The Little Mermaid
is the sparkling new Disney musical that's poised to make a splash on
Broadway. Some of Disney's most popular songs are featured in the show
- including "Part of Your World," "Kiss the Girl," and the Academy
AwardŽ-winning Best Original Song, "Under the Sea"- by the songwriting
team of 8-time Academy AwardŽ winner Alan Menken and the renowned
Howard Ashman. The stage adaptation also features new songs by Menken
and Glenn Slater, plus a book by Tony AwardŽ- winning playwright Doug
Wright.
In the tradition of other Disney on Broadway musicals, a visionary
team of theater artists from around the world has gathered together to
bring The Little Mermaid to breathtaking life. Helmed by
acclaimed director Francesca Zambello, the show will transport you to
an underwater world like no other, with choreography by Stephen Mear,
scenery by George Tsypin, costumes by Tatiana Noginova and lighting by
Tony AwardŽ winner Natasha Katz.
