Redondo Beach, CA – November 20, 2025 – Encore Theatre Group proudly presents its mainstage musical production:
Disney’s The Little Mermaid dives deeper than ever before in this visually stunning re-imagining of the beloved classic. Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s timeless tale and the iconic animated film, this production brings Ariel’s world to life with breathtaking movement, striking visuals, and a touch of magic. The underwater kingdom shimmers with mystery and beauty, revealing a story that’s a little darker, a little more real, and all the more enchanting.
With music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, and a captivating book by Doug Wright, The Little Mermaid invites audiences to experience unforgettable songs like “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl,” and “Part of Your World” in a whole new light. Ariel’s journey of courage, sacrifice, and love unfolds amid soaring aerial artistry, fluid choreography, and rich, imaginative design. Perfect for audiences of all ages, this fresh vision captures the wonder of the ocean and the heart of a story that reminds us what it means to find our own voice.
Arianna Hernandez and Cat Rojo grace the stage in the spotlight role of Ariel. Driven by curiosity and compassion, Ariel dares to explore a world beyond her own, following her heart no matter the obstacles. They are joined by Aaron Byrnes and Jeremy Born as Prince Eric, whose loyalty, courage, and kindness reveal the true heart of a leader. And standing in their way is Ursula, the deliciously wicked sea witch—brought to life with bold, scene-stealing flair by Craig Benson.
Dive into Disney’s The Little Mermaid - Directed by Lindsay Johnson, with musical direction by Mike Walker and choreography by Katelyn Martin, and discover a world of enchanting music, vibrant choreography, and Disney’s timeless magic come to life in a delightful live performance perfect for all ages!
