Disney’s The Little Mermaid is a musical based on Disney’s classic animated film and the classic Hans Christian Andersen’s story. The tale revolves around Ariel, a young mermaid who dreams of exploring the human world and falling in love.

    CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:

    Ariel (Soprano. Ab3 to Gb5) – A mermaid and King Triton’s youngest daughter. She is obsessed with everything about the human world, and dreams of becoming a part of life above the water. Hard-headed, naive, and emotional, but also kindhearted.

    Prince Eric (Bari-Tenor B2 to G4) – A human monarch who has no interest of taking the crown. A handsome, affable lad with a buoyant, adventurous nature. After Ariel saves his life, he becomes obsessed with finding her and hearing her voice once more.

    Grimsby (Baritone C3 to C4) – Prince Eric’s British guardian. Droll, stuffy, and constantly urging Eric towards his royal duties, specifically marriage.

    Flounder (Bari-Tenor A2 to G4) – A fish and smitten with Ariel, his best friend. Rambunctious but cautious, fearful of the dangers that lurk in and above the water.

    Scuttle (Baritone C3 to G4) – A disheveled seagull and expert in human artifacts. Loudmouthed, optimistic, and a bit ignorant, despite his supposed
    expertise.

    King Triton (Bari-Tenor Ab2 to F4) – King of the Sea and Ariel’s father. Beneath his imposing presence and commanding nature lurks a harried single father who will do anything to protect his daughters. The death of his wife has also given him an irrational fear of humans.

    Sebastian (Tenor Bb2 to C5) – A crab and advisor to King Triton. A musical virtuoso who is constantly distraught from keeping after Ariel. Despite his paranoia, he can’t bring himself to stand in Ariel’s way.

    Flotsam (Tenor E3 to C5) – An eel and one of Ursula’s lackeys. Oily and spineless, he will say anything you want or need to hear.
