Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 09/29/2022

(VOORHEES, NJ) -- Based on one of Hans Christian Anderson’s most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney’s The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages. With music by eight-time Academy Award winner, Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its irresistible songs, including “Under the See”, Kiss the Girl” and “Part of Your World”.

Ariel, King Triton’s youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends, Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.

Voorhees Theatre Company presents The Little Mermaid over four performances: October 21 at 7:30pm, October 22 at 2:00pm & 7:30pm, and October 23 at 2:00pm.  All performances take place  at the Raymond J. Brosel Performing Arts Center at Voorhees Middle School, 1000 Holly Oak Drive, Voorhees, New Jersey.
