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 the evil
sea witch Ursula 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 fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, The
Little Mermaid is the sparkling new Disney musical that's
poised to make a splash on Broadway. Featured in the score
are some of Disney's most popular songs - including "Part
of Your World," "Kiss the Girl," and the
Academy Award®-winning Best Original Song "Under
the Sea", all written by the songwriting team of
8-time Academy Award® winner Alan Menken and the renowned
Howard Ashman. The stage adaptation also features brand-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 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 Award® winner Natasha Katz.
