21 roles
Lead, Vocal Range: Mezzo Soprano, G#3/Ab3 - F♯5/G♭5 A strong-willed teenaged mermaid who longs to be human. She possesses a keen curiosity for the world both under and above the sea, much to the chagrin of her father, King Triton.

Will perform on Heelies.
Lead, Vocal Range: Baritone, B2 - G4 The adventurous human monarch who captures Ariel’s heart. Charming and sensitive in nature, he has a warm voice and demeanor that evoke his flair for romance.

Lead, Vocal Range: Alto, D#3/Eb3 - C5 The manipulative sea witch who tries to overthrow King Triton. She is cunning and devious and will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Looking for a performer who can bring out this villain's humor while finding texture in Ursula's complexity.

Supporting, Vocal Range: Tenor, C3 - G4 The know-it-all seagull who serves as Ariel’s expert on all things human. Garrulous and off-beat, Scuttle’s eccentricities are more endearing than aggravating.
