Event Description

Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR. dives under the sea with Professional Youth Theatre of Michigan’s talented young performers in this 60-minute musical adventure! Based on the beloved animated film, this enchanting tale follows Ariel, a curious mermaid who dreams of life beyond the ocean. When she makes a daring deal with the sea witch Ursula, Ariel trades her voice for a chance to live on land and win the heart of Prince Eric.

Featuring beloved songs like “Part of Your World,” “Under the Sea,” and “Kiss the Girl,” this youth-friendly adaptation brings all the magic, music, and heart of the original to the stage. Join us for a vibrant, family-friendly production that celebrates bravery, love, and finding where you truly belong.
