The show follows the Disney movie story about Ariel (played by Alexis Haig). She is a mermaid who falls in love with Prince Eric (Bradon Hughes), who is a human.
When King Triton (Brandon Simmers) and the mersisters discover Ariel is in love with a human, they try to stop her. However, Ariel doesn’t listen. Following her heart, she makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula (Missy Iraca), to turn her into a human, so she can meet Prince Eric, but it costs Ariel her voice.
Ariel will be doomed to become a servant of Ursula, if she can’t convince Prince Eric to love her within three days. With undersea friends Sebastian (Gerry Lowe), Scuttle (Kyle Stiver) and Flounder (Emma Howdyshell), Ariel must learn how to act like a human and win the prince’s love within three days without the ability to talk.
A comedic and musical adventure fit for the entire family, this performance includes additional music, costumes and dancing.
