24 roles
Ariel, the heroine of our story, is a little mermaid who longs to be human. Ariel has some beautiful solos but must be able to convey meaning through gestures once she loses her voice.
Prince Eric is the adventurous prince who captures Ariel's heart. He has a sensitive side, he also has a few small solos, but strong actor needs to fit this role.
Sebastian is the meticulous and anxious crab who tries to keep Ariel safe while getting to lead some of the most memorable songs in the show! Strong singer needed for this role, but also a good strong actor as well. Sebastian can be played by a boy or girl.
Flounder is Ariel's sincere and sensitive best friend who is loyal to the end. This spunky fish also has a show-stopping solo in "She's in Love." A wonderful role for a younger performer who is ready to take the next step into the spotlight.
Rules the sea and is a force to be reckoned with. This non-singer needs to command the stage as a strong leader but also show the tenderness of a parent. Role for a mature performer who feels comfortable playing father to Ariel and the Mersisters.
Ursula is the manipulative sea witch who tries to overthrow King Triton. She is cunning and devious and will stop at nothing to get what she wants. A mature performer who can bring out this villain's humor while finding texture in Ursula's complexity is needed for this character. Ursula's songs can be challenging.
