Don't Miss Disney Favorite The Little Mermaid

The home of musical theatre in Houston, Theatre Under The Stars is set to serve up a smorgasbord of theatrical delights during their exciting 2020/21 season. From the hotly anticipated pre-Broadway run of the revival of historical Tony-winning tuner 1776 to disco-dancing nuns, rock and roll and beyond, their latest program promises high spirited nights on the town that won't soon be forgotten. Dive into a beloved fairytale with TUT's holiday production of Disney's The Little Mermaid. 

Featuring music by eight-time Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken, as well as all the classic Howard Ashman and Glen Slater songs from the movie ('Kiss the Girl,' 'Under the Sea'), The Little Mermaid is a family-friendly underwater adventure that follows flame-haired heroine Ariel, a lively but bored mermaid princess who feels smothered by her father's hatred of all things human. After sneaking to the surface, she witnesses a disastrous shipwreck and rescues the handsome Prince Eric from drowning. Smitten by the handsome man, she is determined to win his love, and makes a desperate deal with the devious sea witch Ursula to trade her fins for legs (and her beautiful voice), in order to pursue him on land.
