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
