Roles

Here's the rundown of the roles available in this production: A few roles will fly, so you may want to factor in any fear of heights. Several roles are non-singing. Many roles in the show may also be doubled.

Note: While this is obviously not an adult content type of show, there are no children's roles in this show.

Ariel:
Spunky, sweet, charming, strained relationship with her father. Seven songs in the show. She's a mezzo-soprano; her top note is a strong, sustained fourth-space E. Ariel will fly.

Eric:
More of an actual character than in the movie. Handsome and charming and trying to find his place in the world. Five songs. Needs a good solid fifth-line F. Eric flies.

Grimsby:
Eric's stuffy old guardian. Has about a bar and a half of singing.

Flounder:
Ariel's close friend. Bubbly, cheery and naïve. Could be either gender. In the stage version, s/he has a song with the mer-sisters.

Scuttle:
A seagull. Silly and given to speaking lots of nonsense. He has a song. Dance skills are a plus.

Windward and Leeward: Two assistants to King Triton. Speaking only.

King Triton:
Imperious ruler of the ocean and a concerned single dad. Three songs. Baritone.

Flotsam and Jetsam:
Ursula's henchpersons. Standard Disney evil henchmen and sidekicks. Three songs, including one by themselves.

Ursula:
Big, bold and brassy. She was originally modeled after a drag character, and I'm open to going that way for the right performer. She does fly a bit (maybe 8-9 feet off the deck).

Chef Louis:
Crazed French chef. He gets to sing Le Poisson. Needs an outrageous French accent.

Sebastian:
Ariel's minder and the chief musician. Three songs. Needs a credible Jamaican accent

Also: 

There's a main chorus of six females who play Ariel's sisters, the maids, and the princesses who come to sing (horribly) for the Prince's hand in marriage.

There's a men's chorus who double as sailors and chefs.

Scuttle has a batch of buddies who join him for one number, and that number includes some dancing.

And everybody who can fit in a costume is in "Under the Sea"
