Journey “under the sea” with Ariel and her aquatic friends in The Little Mermaid, Jr., adapted from Disney’s Broadway production and the beloved motion picture. In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home – and her fins – behind to live in the world above. But first, she’ll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she’s the girl whose enchanting voice he’s been seeking.
