The Little Mermaid at The Portland Players

Music by Alan Menken, Lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, Book by Doug Wright

Based on the Hans Christian Andersen story and the Disney film of the same name, The Little Mermaid is an exciting, family friendly journey into the colorful world under the sea. Here we meet a beautiful young mermaid named Ariel who longs for the world above. We follow Ariel as she discovers love, sacrifices her voice, and follows her heart above the tide with the help of some very familiar characters including, Flounder the fish, Scuttle the Seagull, Sebastian the Crab, and Ursula the Sea Witch.

The musical includes several new songs from Academy Award Winner Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, and Glenn Slater as well as some favorite tunes from the Disney animated film, including- “Under the Sea,” “Poor Unfortunate Souls,” and “Part of Your World.”

Join us under the sea for this beautiful, family friendly show!
