The Little Mermaid Jr
Journey “under the sea” with Ariel and her aquatic friends in Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR., adapted
from Disney’s Broadway production and the motion picture (featuring the enormously popular Academy
Award-winning music and delightfully charming book and lyrics). Based on one of Hans Christian
Andersen’s most beloved stories, Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR. is an enchanting look at the sacrifices
we all make for love and acceptance.
In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home
and her fins behind and 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.
This highly ambitious venture involves a cast of actors, singers and dancers supported by a technical crew, ranging
from Year 7 to Year 11 and we are asking for lots of support from parents/guardians, pupils, governors, friends of
the Academy and the wider community as well as the local primary schools.
There are over 100 students taking part in the production, the students and staff have been working hard on the
production since September and we hope you’ll be able to join us for the performances!
