Cast Selected for "Disney's The Little Mermaid Jr."
Westchester Country Day School will present "Disney's The Little Mermaid Jr." on stage this fall. The show dates are Friday, Nov. 5, through Sunday, Nov. 7, in Rives Hall.
With music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, and book by Doug Wright, the musical is adapted from the fan-favorite Disney animated movie. In a magical kingdom fathoms below, the beautiful young mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. But first, she'll have to defy her father King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch Ursula, and convince Prince Eric that she’s the girl with the enchanting voice.
