Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID JR
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. 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, bargaining 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.
Disney’s The Little Mermaid offers a fantastic opportunity to perform some of the best-known songs from the past 30 years.
Rehearsals & Casting
Weekly rehearsals for The Little Mermaid JR are led by our professional Musical Theatre team in Hampton Hill and Twickenham.
Whilst rehearsing songs, scenes and routines, children will also learn about stage direction, characterisation and the importance of supporting ensemble. If your child enjoys acting, singing and dancing, they will love it!
Weeks 1-2: Workshops & Auditions
Our Musical Theatre team will help young performers explore and learn the story, characters, songs and routines in 2 weeks of workshop auditions. Young performers are asked to list the three parts they’d like to audition for and one part they definitely don’t want to play.
Week 3-4: Casting Announced
The Director will aim to cast every child in a role they’d like to play and that stretches their development. Everyone will have lines, songs and routines to learn for the show. We start rehearsals with our BIG opening number so the whole cast are involved and working together.
Week 4 to showtime! The cast will come together for 2.5 hours per week, 2 additional 4-hour weekend rehearsals and a full tech & dress rehearsal (on stage) culminating in 2 full scale performances at Hampton Hill Theatre in December.
Cast sizes are capped based on the number of roles available and places will be offered on a first come, first served basis so don’t miss out – enrol today! (see full terms & conditions).
