Jersey Arts TV: The Little Mermaid Makes a Splash at the Paper Mill Playhouse


By Gina Marie Rodriguez & Dave Tavani

originally published: 06/05/2025


Disney kids, and Disney adults, can rejoice! Paper Mill Playhouse is bringing "Disney's The Little Mermaid" to the stage.

In a magical kingdom beneath the sea, the young mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. Based on one of the world’s most beloved stories and the enchanting Disney animated film, The Little Mermaid is equal parts love story and adventure for the whole family to enjoy.

This fishy fable boasts such irresistible songs as “Part of Your World,” “Kiss the Girl,” and the Academy Award–winning “Under the Sea,” along with a colorful cast of characters and a boatload of fun.

Jersey Arts is at the Paper Mill Playhouse to speak with the cast who will bring these beloved characters to life.

Performances of "Disney's The Little Mermaid" run now through June 29, 2025 at Paper Mill Playhouse (22 Brookside Drive) in Millburn, New Jersey. Tickets are available for purchase online.

Gina Marie Rodriguez is an award-winning screenwriter, director, and actress. Her foray into filmmaking began at a young age as a way to avoid public speaking in school. From there, it grew into a love of telling stories and creating new worlds. Gina Marie boasts a Bronze Remi win from Worldfest Houston, Best Female Filmmaker from the Cosmic Film Festival, and a Best Actress in a Comedy from the Hang Onto Your Shorts Film Festival alongside nominations from the Golden Door International Film Festival, Official Latino Film and Arts Festival and Los Angeles Cinefest among others.
