'Little Mermaid' Coming to Burnsville Performing Arts Center

Land will meet sea next month as a stage version of the Disney classic "The Little Mermaid" comes to the Burnsville Performing Arts Center.

According to Sun Thisweek, local children’s theater group The Play’s The Thing is opening its version of the animated film “Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr.,” which runs Aug. 2-4.

If for some reason you are not familiar with the Disney classic, here's the art center's description of the show:

In a magical kingdom fathoms below, the beautiful young mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. But first, she'll have to defy her father King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch Ursula, and convince Prince Eric that she’s the girl with the enchanting voice. Adapted from Disney’s 2008 Broadway production, Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. features the hit songs "Part of Your World," "She’s in Love," and the Oscar-winning "Under the Sea."
