In a magical underwater kingdom, the young mermaid Ariel longs to leave behind her ocean home—and fins—to live in the world up above.
But first, Ariel will have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with Ursula (arguably the best Disney villain of all time), and convince Prince Eric that she’s the one whose enchanting voice they've been seeking. Featuring two alternate casts of talented young performers from Ōtautahi Christchurch, Disney's The Little Mermaid Jr. brings this classic Disney “tail” (get it?!) to life for the school holidays.
