What is “The Little Mermaid JR.“

Ariel is the princess under the sea, curious about the world around her both under and above the water’s edge. Being a Mermaid, Ariel finds her life limited, especially when she rescues a prince from drowning. Prince Eric finds himself fascinated by the beautiful voice of Princess Ariel, not knowing that she is the one who saved him from drowning.

Ariel longs to be with her Prince, but she is a mermaid, and he is from above the sea. Enter Ursula, an evil octopus bent on taking power from Ariel’s father, King Triton. Ursula hatches a plan to capture Ariel’s voice, a magical voice indeed.

Ariel’s many friends try to help her on the path of discovery and her path to true love. The Little Mermaid JR. is a story of unconditional love and friendship. Will the Princess and her Prince live happily ever after? You will have to see The Little Mermaid JR. to find out.

Adapted from Disney’s Broadway production and the motion picture, The Little Mermaid JR. is based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories. This hour-long musical is just perfect for the entire family.
