BALDWIN, WI – The cast and crew of Disney’s The Little Mermaid invite you to join them at the Baldwin-Woodville High School Performing Arts Center January 23-25 as they present this year’s musical!
The following overview is taken directly from the Music Theatre International website, with the addition of B-W student names:
“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 (Francesca Willink), King Triton’s (Ethan Nigbor) youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric (Kingston Arndt) in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula (Emma Soderberg), 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 (Mikayla Moats), Scuttle the seagull (George Gough) and Sebastian the crab (Kalli Bauer) to restore order under the sea.”
Performances are January 23, 24, & 25 at 7:00 p.m., and January 25 at 2:00 p.m. Visit bwsd.ludus.com to reserve your tickets for this classic, colorful production!
