Fans of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” — and those who love musical theater in general — will not be disappointed with the live version of the beloved animated film that will splash onto the Civic Auditorium stage this November.
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.

The bitter-sweet process of casting is underway! We heard from over 200 people of extraordinary talent! We wish we could put every one of you on stage, but the reality is we must cut that number down to less than half to have a quality show. This means that some with excellent skills and talent may not make it on stage, and that is definitely the bitter part of casting a show! Please do not be discouraged. Casting involves not only combining skill and talent to a role, but also finding complimentary actors for roles that work together – for instance Ariel and Eric. We are working hard to have results as soon as possible and will be posting them here on the website and on Facebook. Auditioning takes courage and we applaud each and every one of you!! You have made the casting of this show quite difficult!
