Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID Makes a Splash with Five Shows at Wolf Trap

Disney's The Little Mermaid will bring the beloved fairy tale to life onstage at Wolf Trap's Filene Center, June 29, 30 and July 1, 2. Audiences of all ages are sure to fall in love with this Broadway-style underwater spectacular! Visit WolfTrap.org for more information and to purchase tickets.

Audiences around the world first read the story of Ariel, a mermaid longing to be part of the human world, in Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. In 1989, fans of the classic story saw it re-imagined on the silver screen in Disney's animated movie. The uplifting score and memorable characters made a lasting impact that led the way for a Broadway musical version of the magical fairy tale. With timeless music from Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, the musical was a hit on the Great White Way when audiences saw the Disney classic come to life onstage. Disney's The Little Mermaid made its Broadway debut at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on January 8, 2008. It made a splash in New York City, garnering two Tony Award nominations for Best Original Score and Best Lighting Design of a Musical. In addition, the production's soundtrack was nominated for a Grammy for Best Musical Show Album. In May 2016, Disney announced that a live-action film adaptation of The Little Mermaid is currently in the works.

Spectacular sets and costumes will transport you "Under the Sea, " so come fall in love with the magic for the first time - or all over again with classics such as "Kiss the Girl," "Part of Your World" and more!
