Growing up in the beautiful and exotic world under the sea doesn’t stop the young mermaid, Ariel, from being dissatisfied with her surroundings and wishing she lived somewhere else. Except for her fishy friends and watery world, the Little Mermaid is a lot like any teenager in love. She resists the rules of her father, King Neptune, and doesn’t want to listen to good advice from her friends.

Based on the beloved Hans Christian Andersen tale, the CYT original version of this story has a happier ending, but includes the wicked Sea Witch, Octavia the Octopus and her gang of Shark henchmen. Ariel’s best friend, Cha Cha, is a Latina lobster with a fiery spirit who tries to keep the lovesick mermaid from dangerous mistakes. Come take a dive into a land beneath the sea!

This show is performed by Christian Youth Theater students from age 8-18.
