The Little Mermaid
About our Main Stage Program: Our Apple Main Stage (ages 9-adult) is an audition only production experience that brings important storytelling to our community through high quality theater performance and production. Historically we produce 3-4 Main Stage shows per year, including a holiday musical, an original work, and a summer blockbuster title!
About the Show: 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, King Triton's youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula, 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, Scuttle the seagull and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.
please note that the role of ursula has been precast.
all other roles are available.
