Making a Splash: See The Little Mermaid at the Rochester Opera House

Disney’s The Little Mermaid sails onto the Rochester stage with beloved hits like “Kiss the Girl,” “Under the Sea,” and “Part of Your World.” This enchanting musical adaptation of the 1989 animated film premiered on Broadway in 2008, earning Tony Award nominations for Best Lighting Design of a Musical and Best Original Score.

With a book by Doug Wright, music by Alan Menken, and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, the story follows Ariel, a curious and spirited mermaid who dreams of life on land. After rescuing Prince Eric from a shipwreck, she makes a daring deal with the sea witch, Ursula—trading her voice for legs. Ariel has just three days to win Eric’s kiss, or risk losing her soul forever. With the help of her friends, she navigates the human world in a race against time.

The Rochester production stars Opera House favorites Eloise Ellis as Ariel, Chris Bradley as Ursula, and Marcus Provost as King Triton, under the direction of the infamously talented Scott Severance.

Following the Opera House’s wildly popular production of Beauty and the Beast in Summer 2024, The Little Mermaid continues the tradition of Disney magic. The show runs through Saturday, August 2 at 7:30 PM.
