HIRING EQUITY ACTORS ONLY
ARIEL (20’s): Soprano with belt. Must be small in stature. King Triton’s youngest daughter. Her longing for knowledge and acceptance leads her to the surface where she falls in love with Prince Eric. She doesn’t fit into the world of the sea, but knows that she belongs in the world above. Ariel is hard headed, naïve and overwhelmed with emotions – often getting her into trouble but is also kind hearted and beautiful. Must be a strong actor, mover and singer. Must be comfortable with stage flying.
URSULA (40’s): Mezzo with excellent Broadway belt. The manipulative and cunning sea witch. She is King Triton’s jealous, half-octopus sister who has been banished for killing his wife and attempting to usurp the kingdom. Ursula is extremely calculating, deceptive and shrewd. Must be a superb comedienne.
PRINCE ERIC (Mid 20’s-Mid 30’s): Tenor. The handsome and seafaring human prince. He is enraptured by Ariel’s beautiful voice and is on a quest to find her. He is strong, affable and has a buoyant, adventurous nature, along with a penchant for causing Grimsby a headache. Eric is more comfortable on the sea than in the kingdom. Strong mover.
SEBASTIAN (Mid 30’s – Mid 40’s): African-American. High Baritone. A crab and trusted advisor to King Triton. He speaks in a Jamaican accent. Sebastian’s brooding attitude, paranoia and constant supervision is a thorn in Ariel’s side, but his loyalty to the King helps him to rise above and eventually become quite fond of the girl. Strong mover.
KING TRITON (40’s): Baritone. Ariel’s father and ruler of the Merfolk. Beneath his imposing presence and commanding nature is a concerned, harried single father of seven girls. He clashes with Ariel because they are both strong-willed and short-tempered, and he is increasingly skeptical of humans. He worries about Ariel’s desire to be human only because he loves her so much. Must be comfortable with stage flying.
GRIMSBY (40’s to Mid 50’s): Baritone. Prince Eric’s faithful and worrisome manservant, guardian and confidant. Must have high style comic skills. Although he lacks a sense of humor about Eric’s maritime escapades, he wants him to be happy and take his rightful place in the kingdom, thus following the late King’s request.
FLOUNDER (18-20’s): Baritone. Ariel’s best fish friend. He has a bit of a crush on Ariel but is too embarrassed and shy to let her know. He is a loyal companion and can panic in stressful situations, causing him to blurt out information he should keep secret.
SCUTTLE (Mid 30’s – Mid 40’s): Baritone. Strong actor, singer and tapper. A loquacious, disheveled and nonsensical seagull. He fancies himself an expert on the human world. Must be good comedian/vaudevillian and must tap. Must be comfortable with stage flying.
FLOTSAM and JETSAM (Late 20’s): High Tenor and Baritone. Ursula’s slimy, unctuous and scheming eel minions. Must be able to move fluidly and have comic skills. Must be comfortable on roller-skates.
MALE ENSEMBLE: 20-35. Open to all ethnicities. Our men will play multiple roles as well as dance and sing well. Strong, athletic, trained, musical theatre dancers and singers. Three men cast as Seagulls will also need to be strong tappers. Our Prince Eric double will be cast form the ensemble as well.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE: 20-35. Open to all ethnicities. Our ladies will play multiple roles (Mersisters, Princesses, Maids, etc.) as well as dance and sing well. Musical theatre dancers and singers. Our Ariel double will be cast from the ensemble as well.
