The Little Mermaid comes to the PARC in downtown Plymouth

Disney’s The Little Mermaid is coming to the Plymouth Arts and Recreation Complex (PARC) in Plymouth, Michigan January 29th- 6th and February 5th-7th. Forever After Productions is excited to bring you this show with a hugely talented cast of local area students.

Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’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 Sea,” “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 and bargains 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.

This show is a great way to take the whole family to see a Broadway quality show at a reasonable price! “How often do you get to see the Broadway version of a classic tale on a stage near you for just $10 each?” says Director Briana Bower, EMU Theatre Alumni. The production staff for this show are all Eastern Michigan University students. “We love being able to take our knowledge we gain from EMU and apply it directly to our jobs here at Forever After Productions,” states Stage Manager and Choreographer Reilly Conlon who is in the education program at Eastern. “Being a student myself, I am more equipped to teach and connect with our students because I am still growing as a staff member. My work is never stagnant as I gain new knowledge every day that I can use”, says Brandon Waldenmayer, Producer and Music Director who is in his senior year at EMU as a Children’s Literature and Public Administration major.
