Disney's The Little Mermaid - Area Stage Company

The Area Stage Company is proud to announce that we have obtained special permission to perform the original broadway script of Disney’s The Little Mermaid in an all new immersive style at the Adrienne Arsht Center. Following our critically acclaimed, smash hit immersive production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, this production will allow audience members to step into an old sea port tavern where sailors gather to exchange myths of merfolk and tales of adventure. This is where Ariel and Eric’s worlds will come to life around (and above) the audience.
