Something For The Kids? How About 'Little Mermaid' On Stage?

Sunnyvale Community Players presents the inspiring classic, DISNEY’S THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. this February and March.

Journey along with Ariel and her aquatic friends in this adaptation of Disney’s 2008 Broadway production. 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.

“The Little Mermaid, to me, has always been a big celebration of life,” said DISNEY’S THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. director Cindy Powell. “You’ve got that fabulous party ‘Under the Sea’ where you enjoy everything around you, just by looking at where you are right now. But then in comes that spark of hope in ‘Part of Your World’ where we are inspired to ask questions like ‘Who do I want to be?’ and ‘How am I going to get there?’ Combining that joy and that hope together is what makes this story so special at all different stages of life.”

DISNEY’S THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. opens on Friday, February 20 with the Seahorse cast and Saturday, February 21 with the Seamonkey cast.

A gala will follow both opening nights.

The show runs through Sunday, March 8, 2015.
