CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
NOTE: The role of Ariel has been precast.
ACTOR ONE: Ariel (PRECAST) 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.
ACTOR TWO: Prince Eric. A human monarch who has no interest of taking the crown. A handsome, affable lad with a buoyant, adventurous nature. After Ariel saves his life, he becomes obsessed with finding her and hearing her voice once more.
ACTOR THREE: Flounder. A fish and smitten with Ariel, his best friend. Rambunctious but cautious, fearful of the dangers that lurk in and above the water.
ACTOR FOUR: King Triton. King of the Sea and Ariel’s father. Beneath his imposing presence and commanding nature lurks a harried single father who will do anything to protect his daughters. The death of his wife has also given him an irrational fear of humans.
ACTOR FIVE: Sebastian. A crab and advisor to King Triton. A musical virtuoso who is constantly distraught from keeping after Ariel. Despite his paranoia, he can’t bring himself to stand in Ariel’s way.
ACTOR SIX: Ursula. The banished Sea Witch and sister of King Triton. Supposedly spurned at childhood, she will use whatever method necessary to steal the kingdom and claim it as her own. Malevolent, calculating, and deceptive.
ENSEMBLE: We are looking for SIX Actors who will cover/double roles such as: Adella, Aquata, Andrina, Artisa, Atina, Allana, Flotsam, Jetsam, Grimsby, Chef Louis, Scuttle, The Pilot, and other as needed.
