Rockdale Musical Society is proud to present DISNEY’S THE LITTLE MERMAID with Book by Doug Wright, Music by Alan Menken, and Lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater.
Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney's The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages. With music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its irresistible songs including "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl," and "Part of Your World."
Ariel, played by Nicole Butler, King Triton’s youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric, played by Matthew Harter, in the world above and bargains with the evil sea witch, Ursula, portrayed by Ellie Phillips, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends Flounder the fish, played by Bille-Rose Brotherson, Scuttle the seagull, played by Tim Wotherspoon, and Sebastian the crab, played by James Musumeci, to restore order under the sea.
Directed by Cathy Boyle, this Disney classic with a cast of over 40 people will delight audiences and warm the hearts of both the young and the old. Cathy is supported in bringing her vision of this magical show to the stage by Musical Director Kane Wheatley and Choreographer Ste Casimiro.
Rockdale Musical Society‘s [Facebook] DISNEY’S THE LITTLE MERMAID will run from September 7th, through September16th, 2018
