In a magical kingdom beneath the sea, a beautiful young mermaid names Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. But first, she’ll have to defy her father — the king of the sea — escape the clutches of an evil sea witch and convince a prince that she’s the girl with the perfect voice.

Based on one of the most beloved Disney films of all time and the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, The Little Mermaid is the sparkling new Disney musical previewing tonight at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and opening officially on December 6. Some of Disney’s most popular songs are featured in the show, including "Part of Your World," "Kiss the Girl," and the Academy Award®-winning Best Original Song, "Under the Sea," by the songwriting team of 8-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken and the renowned Howard Ashman. The stage adaptation also features new songs by Menken and Glenn Slater, plus a book by Tony Award®-winning playwright Doug Wright.
