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 show -- including "Part of Your World," "Kiss the Girl," and the Academy Award®-winning Best Original Song, "Under the Sea" -- by the songwriting team of 8-time Academy 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 Award®-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 to bring The Little Mermaid to breathtaking life. Helmed by world-renowned 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 Award® winner Natasha Katz.
Sierra Boggess makes her Broadway debut as Ariel. She previously starred as Christine in Phantom Las Vegas, where she originated the role under the direction of Hal Prince. Grammy and Tony Award® nominee Sherie Rene Scott plays Ursula.
