The Little Mermaid

Civic Auditorium

MUSICAL

It’s a magical kingdom beneath the sea! Disney’s The Little Mermaid is a big splash of a family musical with eye-popping musical numbers and an award-winning score. A beautiful young mermaid named Ariel longs to leave her home to live in the world above. Her father, King Triton, forbids contact with the people on land, but when Ariel falls in love with human Prince Eric from afar, she makes a deal with her father’s sister and enemy Ursula to be temporarily transformed into a human. If she wins the kiss of true love from her prince within three days, she’ll remain human! Will Ariel give up her fins and win her prince? Twenty seven years after the release of Disney’s animated film, this love story continues to capture the hearts of young and old alike. Featuring the music audiences have grown to love, including “Part of Your World,” “Kiss the Girl,” and the Academy Award-winning “Under the Sea,” Disney’s The Little Mermaid continues the Civic’s tradition of family friendly musicals to bring in the holiday season!

“…you might well be tempted to rename the show, The Lion King (and Queen) of the Sea.”
