SEEKING:

 

[ARIEL] Female Identifying. Vocal range: Bb3-Eb5. Ariel, the heroine of our story, is a little mermaid who longs to be human. Seeking a strong singer and contemporary dancer who is a dynamic performer for this role. 

 

[PRINCE ERIC] Male identifying. Vocal range B3-D5. Prince Eric is the adventurous prince who captures Ariel's heart. Look for a charming performer with a sensitive nature. Strong mover.

 

[SEBASTIAN] Any gender. Vocal range A3-D5. Sebastian is the meticulous and anxious crab who tries to keep Ariel safe while getting to lead some of the most memorable songs in the show! Strong mover.

 

[MERSISTERS] Female identifying. G3-G5. The Mersisters (Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, Allana) are Ariel's siblings and full of personality and sass. Strong contemporary dancer.

 

[FLOTSAM & JETSAM] Any gender identity. Vocal range C4-C#5. Flotsam and Jetsam are Ursula's slippery spies. These electric eels are sinister and sneaky. Strong contemporary dancer.

 

[SCUTTLE] Any gender identity. Vocal range B3-E5. Scuttle is the know-it-all seagull who serves as Ariel's expert on humans. He is funny and off-beat. While a good singer will rock "Human Stuff," this song can easily be spoken in rhythm. Looking for a performer with good comedic timing who is willing to have fun with Scuttle's eccentricities. Strong contemporary dancer.

 

[ENSEMBLE] Excellent contemporary dancers. 18 to 35 years old, any gender identity. Seeking expressive, strong contemporary dancers who can move this story along. This is a singing and non-singing role. Please note in submission which shows you are available for.
