to some of the most witty, charming and heartfelt songs ever written for the stage. The musical's score boasts such classic songs as "Old Devil Moon," "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?," "When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love (I Love the Girl I'm Near)," "Look
to the Rainbow," and "If This Isn't Love."</span></span></p>

A mermaid and King Triton's youngest daughter. She is obsessed with everything about the human world, and dreams of becoming a part of life above the water. Hardheaded, naive, and emotional, but also kind-hearted.

A crab and advisor to King Triton. A musical virtuoso who is tasked with taking care of the rebellious Ariel.

and self-proclaimed; excellent comic actor. Role is almost talk-sung. Prince Eric’s faithful servant, right hand man, and friend; while he is earnest, he is also gentle and clumsy; serves as the prince’s moral compass and almost worships Eric.</span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
