Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney's The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages. With music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its irresistible songs including "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl," and "Part of Your World." Ariel, King Triton's youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above and bargains with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull, and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.

Thanks. I agree. He was a great Eric and I'll be sure and pass along your feedback.

Geoffrey, good job on directing! Any musicals coming up with your directing?

[@GeoffreyShort]

Thank you very much! A production of "In the Heights" I directed is running now through August 6th (ruclips.net/video/z9kAG1XX2P8/видео.html). Then I direct Jesus Christ Superstar in the Spring also at PPTOPA.
