New Interactive 'The Little Mermaid' Musical Comes To El Segundo

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA – A new interactive live stage show experience of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid,” produced by SOUND STAGE LIVE!, is set to run at the El Segundo Performing Arts Center from March 15-18, according to the press release. SOUND STAGE LIVE! is the first-ever immersive musical theatre experience that combines live actors, projected animations that surround the audience, and interactivity between the audience’s mobile device and the live show.

The four-day run of "The Little Mermaid" will be hosted by YouTube star Todrick Hall, and those who purchase VIP tickets will get front row seats, have the chance to meet Hall, and attend a special Q&A. Unlike traditional theatre that discourages phone use during the performance, the new format encourages viewers to pull their cell phones out. There will be a red carpet, themed snacks and games in the lobby, before the interactive show begins.

“We’re bringing cutting edge technology and storytelling together to put our guests in the middle of the action," Jeff Cason, CEO and Creative Producer said in a statement. "Your phone will let you see and hear the fish under the sea, join the musical chorus that get Ariel and Eric to fall in love, and even help Ariel defeat Ursula with the power of the trident.”

The pre-show will include Todrick Hall’s fan favorite videos of his performances, as well as a lip sync battle in which guests can join Todrick onstage. The El Segundo Performing Arts Center is located at 640 Main Street, El Segundo, California 90245. General admission tickets are $29, upgraded seats are $79, and VIP seats are $129.
