This page covers everything you need — from what the show is and what to expect, to finding the right seats and buying with complete confidence.

Show Information

Disney's The Little Mermaid began as a pre-Broadway tryout at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver in July 2007 before opening on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on January 10, 2008, following previews that began November 3, 2007. The musical is based on Disney's animated film, which was adapted from the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. Its creative team includes music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman for the original film songs and Glenn Slater for additional stage songs, and a book by Doug Wright. The original Broadway production was directed by Francesca Zambello with choreography by Stephen Mear.

The show is a family-friendly Disney stage musical that blends fairy-tale storytelling with a melodic score, large-scale costumes, puppetry, flying and floating effects, and theatrical movement designed to evoke life beneath the sea. The original Broadway production closed on August 30, 2009, after 50 previews and 685 regular performances, and the musical is now widely performed through regional, community, school, professional, and international productions. Disney's The Little Mermaid runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes and is performed in two acts with one intermission.

Disney's The Little Mermaid received a 2008 Tony Award nomination for Best Original Score and Drama Desk Award nominations. While reviews for the original Broadway staging were mixed, the musical found lasting popularity in family-theater, educational, community, regional, and international markets. It remains closely associated with Disney Theatrical Productions, the stage division behind Broadway adaptations including Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Aladdin.

Story Summary

Disney's The Little Mermaid takes place in a fairy-tale world divided between an undersea kingdom and a coastal seaside kingdom above the waves. Ariel, a young mermaid princess, is fascinated by the human world and dreams of life beyond the ocean. After rescuing Prince Eric from a shipwreck and falling in love with him, she becomes even more determined to cross the boundary between her world and his.

Ariel's longing puts her at odds with her father, King Triton, and leads her to Ursula, the sea witch. Ursula offers Ariel a bargain: she can trade her voice for human legs and a chance to win Prince Eric's love. Ariel must earn a kiss of true love before time runs out, or risk losing her freedom to Ursula forever.

The story follows themes of curiosity, coming of age, sacrifice, pursuing a dream, and reconciliation between parent and child. No prior familiarity with the film or fairy tale is needed; Disney's The Little Mermaid stands on its own as a self-contained musical, and its themes land clearly for audiences across ages and backgrounds.

Story Highlights

Disney's The Little Mermaid is filled with recognizable Disney songs, expanded stage numbers, and emotional moments that help bring Ariel's journey from sea to shore to life.

• "Part of Your World" — Ariel's soaring “I want” anthem expresses her yearning to leave the sea and join the human world. It is the emotional heart of the show and one of the score's defining moments.
• "Under the Sea" — Sebastian leads this exuberant, calypso-flavored showstopper celebrating life beneath the waves. The number is a joyful, high-energy production piece that showcases the musical's colorful undersea style.
• "Poor Unfortunate Souls" — Ursula takes center stage in this menacing and deliciously villainous number. The song drives the bargain that changes Ariel's fate and gives the sea witch one of the show's most memorable entrances into the story.
• "Kiss the Girl" — This romantic, atmospheric number follows Sebastian and the sea creatures as they urge Prince Eric toward a first kiss. It combines humor, tenderness, and storybook charm.
• "She's in Love" — Expanded for the stage, this lively number is sung by Ariel's sisters and Flounder. It adds playful energy while showing how Ariel's feelings for Eric are becoming impossible to hide.
• "If Only" — Written for the stage musical, this quartet deepens the emotional stakes among Ariel, Eric, Triton, and Sebastian. It gives multiple characters a shared moment of longing, regret, and hope.
• "Beyond My Wildest Dreams" — This new stage song captures Ariel's wonder as she explores the human world for the first time without her voice. It highlights her curiosity and excitement as the story moves above the waves.

Disney's The Little Mermaid Seating Guide

Disney's The Little Mermaid is performed in theaters of varying sizes, including regional, professional, school, community, and international venues. Because the musical uses colorful scenic design, choreography, costumes, puppetry, and effects to create its undersea world, where you sit can shape how you experience both the spectacle and the story.

Best Seats for Disney's The Little Mermaid

The best seats for Disney's The Little Mermaid balance a clear view of the stage picture with enough proximity to enjoy character detail, costumes, and facial expressions.

• Best value: Upper mezzanine or rear orchestra sections — these seats often provide a full-stage view that works well for a production with group choreography, aquatic scenic design, and large ensemble moments.
• Closest to the stage: Front orchestra sections — ideal if you want maximum proximity to Ariel, Ursula, Sebastian, Prince Eric, and the visual detail of costumes, puppets, and scenic effects.
• Best overall experience: Mid-orchestra or front mezzanine sections — these areas usually offer a strong balance of distance, angle, and immersion, helping you take in both the performances and the full underwater stage world.
• For families with young children: Aisle-access seats can make arrivals, exits, and the intermission easier. Since Disney's The Little Mermaid runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes with one intermission, planning for comfort helps younger theatergoers enjoy the full performance.
• For groups: Coordinate contiguous seats early, since blocks in popular orchestra and mezzanine sections can sell through quickly for family-friendly musicals.

Disney's The Little Mermaid Seating Chart

You can view an interactive seating map for Disney's The Little Mermaid productions directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your angle to the stage, your distance from the front, and whether you're in the orchestra, mezzanine, or balcony — so the seats you choose match exactly what you're looking for before the curtain rises.

Getting Ready for Show Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation makes the full experience run smoothly from arrival through the final bow.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service around the venue can be congested on busy performance nights. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before heading out so you're ready at the door without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard at most theaters. A portable battery pack is worth having, especially if you're combining the show with dinner or other activities.
• Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain. Most theater doors open well before the show begins; arriving early gives you time to find your seats and settle in before the house lights go down — and avoids the disruption of late seating, which many theaters restrict.
• Plan for the intermission. Disney's The Little Mermaid is performed in two acts with one intermission, and the full show runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. Concession and restroom lines often build immediately after the act break, so it helps to move promptly if you need them.
• Know the venue's phone and photography policy. Photography and video recording are not permitted during the performance, as is standard for professional theatrical productions. Silence your phone before the show begins so everyone can enjoy the performance.
• For families. Disney's The Little Mermaid is appropriate for most ages and is especially popular with younger audiences. Because the musical includes fantasy staging, villain moments, music, movement, and a full-length runtime, preparing children for the length and energy of the performance can make the outing smoother.
