THE LITTLE MERMAID Comes To Charleston Light Opera Guild And The Clay Center 8/3

The Charleston Light Opera Guild and the Clay Center will present Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID from August 3 to August 12 in the Maier Performance Hall at the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences.

Beautiful mermaid Ariel should be a happy girl - she lives in an enchanted undersea country, her father is a King, and she has the most beautiful singing voice. But she is a passionate, headstrong teenager and wants what she cannot have - to live on land. When she falls in love with a handsome human prince, Ariel is more determined than ever to gain a pair of legs. Her only option is to defy her furious father, and bargain with Ursula the Sea Witch, giving her voice as the price of entry onto dry land. With the help of Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull and officious court composer Sebastian the crab, Ariel must wordlessly gain Prince Eric's love within three days - or lose her soul to the ambitious witch!

This production is funny and fanciful, based on the book by Doug Wright and score by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, and Glenn Slater. Faithful to the original movie, this expanded form features the rambunctious and persuasive song Under the Sea, the romantic expectation of Kiss the Girl and that anthem to longing and belonging Part of Your World.
