About the Show

This Disney Theatrical-produced Broadway musical, based on the beloved 1989 animated film, tells the story of a mermaid princess who falls in love with a human and wants to be 'part of their world.'

Mermaid princess Ariel is fascinated by the world and lives of people on dry land, and longs to someday join them though her father, King Triton, forbids contact. When she falls in love with human Prince Eric from afar, she makes a deal with her father’s sister and enemy Ursula: Ariel is temporarily transformed into a human and may remain so if she wins the kiss of true love from her prince within three days. The dangerous mission leads to a showdown between good and evil forces which only love can remedy. Featuring all the hit songs from the movie including "Part of Their World," "Under the Sea," and "Kiss the Girl."

Enchanting, Cliched, Indulgent, Predictable, Entertaining

See it if you love Disney.

Don't see it if you're not interested in yet ANOTHER Disney musical. It's fun, but redundant.

Cliched, Disney-esque, Enchanting, Disappointing, Ambitious

See it if You absolutely adore Little Mermaid, or have little kids who love princesses!

Don't see it if You are very critical, and would rather have your thoughts provoked. While ambitious, the show as a whole could have been better.

Entertaining, Clever, Enchanting, Great costumes

See it if You have small kids to entertain or are a die hard fan of mermaid

Don't see it if You want a surprising plot line and different music

Not original, Cliched, Funny, Great singing, Entertaining

See it if If you truly love everything Disney and have no issue with a woman literally giving up her voice for a man.

Don't see it if If you believe woman should have a voice & her goal should not be to trap a man in marriage.

Great singing, Fluffy, Refreshing, Enchanting, Indulgent

See it if You don't really care for a good romance and love sweeping scores. The score, singing, and sets are the best parts of this show.

Don't see it if You like character depth and character-driven stories. The characters are blegh and the story is dumb, but the score is amazing. Read more
