The Little Mermaid JR – ENCORE

The Branson Regional Arts Council’s 2024 Summer Youth Institute production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR has been SO SUCCESSFUL, that we are adding an additional BONUS SHOW for the general public on Monday, June 24, 2024 – 7:00pm at the Historic Owen Theatre!

Nearly every performance over this weekend has sold out (or is close to it), so we’ve added this Encore Performance featuring our younger cast performers ages 6-12.

NOTE: THERE ARE STILL SOME GREAT SEATS AVAILABLE FOR THE AGE 13-18 CAST SHOWS! 

Advance reserve tickets are recommended and can be purchased securely online at BransonArts.org/tix or by calling the box office at 417-336-4255.

Directed by our talented and experienced Summer Youth Institute directors, this family favorite musical transforms the Historic Owen Theatre into a magical kingdom beneath the sea, where the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above.

Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR 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, bargaining 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.
