The Little Mermaid by Southern Flinders Players in Port Pirie, South Australia

What To Know About This Production

Beautiful mermaid Ariel should be a happy girl -- she lives in an enchanted undersea world, her father is a King, and she has the most beautiful singing voice. But she is a passionate, headstrong teenager, and wants what she cannot have -- to live on land. When she falls in love with a handsome human prince, Ariel is more determined than ever to gain a pair of legs. But her only option is to defy her father, and bargain with Ursula the Sea Witch, giving her voice as the price of entry onto dry land. With the help of Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull, and court composer Sebastian the crab, Ariel must wordlessly gain Prince Eric's love within three days -- or lose her soul to the ambitious witch! All the things you know and love about Little Mermaid meshed together with a Descendants flair.

Available Roles

  • Ariel - Ariel is a strong-willed teenaged mermaid who longs to be human. She has a curiosity for the world both under and above the sea – much to the annoyance of her father, King Triton. Big-hearted, she’s more accepting of and delighted by others’ differences than most of her fellow merfolk, but she also has a rebellious streak that can get her into trouble. Aa a performer, you must be a mezzo soprano with strong top notes, and able to move well to clearly convey meaning once Ariel loses her voice. Female role aged below 25.
  • Prince Eric - Prince Eric is the man who captures Ariel’s heart. Charming and sensitive in nature, he has a warm voice and is on a quest to find true love. There is also a stubborn side to the Prince, who is determined to do whatever it takes to get what he wants – including the girl with the mysterious voice. This role requires a Tenor voice. Male role aged below 25.
  • Grimsby - Grimsby is Prince Eric’s loyal personal butler. Rigid in bearing and personality, though truly fond of Prince Eric as if he was their own child, Grimsby is constantly trying to guide Prince Eric toward the throne and a suitable bride fit for a royal marriage. This role can be musically spoken. Male or female role.
  • Flounder - Flounder is Ariel’s sincere and sensitive best friend who rarely leaves her side. A spunky fish with a sweet sense of humour, he can be awkward and anxious around his unrequited crush. Tenor. Male role below 25.
  • Scuttle - Scuttle is the know-it-all seagull who serves as Ariel’s expert on all things human. Completely bonkers, Scuttle’s eccentricities are more endearing than aggravating. Even as Scuttle makes up ridiculous names and functions for common human objects, their intentions are friendly and, enthusiasm is infectious. Tenor or contralto. Male or female role.
  • King Triton - King Triton, King of the Sea and a stressed out single father to seven girls, struggles to balance his political and paternal powers. A widower, Triton is as fond of his daughters as he is frustrated with their teenage angst. Even when unsure of his parenting technique, he is a tender father who becomes a royal force to be reckoned with when Ariel’s safety and happiness is threatened by his sister, the Sea Witch Ursula. Baritone. Male role.
  • Sebastian - Sebastian is the choirmaster of King Triton’s court who has a flair for the dramatic. A meticulous and uptight crab, Sebastian is ever anxious, whether he’s conducting a concert premiere or protecting Ariel from Ursula. When Sebastian is performing – which is almost always – they are undeniably charismatic. Movement should be more fidgety than fluid, and a broad send-up of a Caribbean accent (rather than an authentic Jamaican one) is required. Tenor or contralto. Male or female role.
  • Ursula - Ursula is the tentacled and manipulative Sea Witch who is sister to King Triton. Cunning and calculating, she will stop at nothing to get what she wants – and what she wants is Triton’s throne. To gain the upper hand, she utilizes her slick sense of humour, a flash of glamour, and larger-than-life confidence. Ursula can be played by a low alto, but a contralto is ideal.
  • Mersisters / Princesses - Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, and Allana are the daughters of King Triton and sisters to Ariel. Full of personality and sass, each should be distinct in character. The Mersisters will play a dual role as Princesses. Female roles.
  • Chef Louis - Chef Louis is the melodramatic head chef in the palace. Wild and frenetic, the chef becomes physically and vocally flustered by Sebastian, who always manages to escape their grasp. A tenor or contralto, they should be highly comedic with exaggerated movement and an over the- top French accent. Male or female role. Chef Louis will also perform in the ensemble.
  • Ensemble and Featured Roles - Ensemble and featured roles will include sailors, sea creatures, gulls, maids and chefs.
  • Aquata/Princess - (Eldest of Triton's daughters.) She's the eldest sister and heir to the throne of Atlantica. She always tries to make a difference.

  • Andrina/Princess - (Second eldest of Triton's daughters.) She is the second sister and is the most athletic of them all. Has a great sense of humor and loves jokes and pranks but can sometimes be a bit nutty around her sisters. She's also the closest to Ariel when she's in trouble..
  • Arista/Princess - (The third eldest of Triton's daughters.) She is the third sister. She loves to ride seahorses.
