List of Characters in The Little Mermaid

Disney's Karaoke Series: Little Mermaid

Stage version of the popular Disney animated feature - currently in pre-production.

Ariel (Clear Belt A4-Bb6, moves well, 17-19)
A mermaid girl on the verge of maturity. A soon-to-be-siren with a frisky sense of fun. An innocent, headstrong and spirited, overflowing with feelings that are fathoms deep, and daring to dream about a different world, the world above the sea.
 
Prince Eric (lyrical tenor / Baritenor up to A. Early 20s)
A prince among men, possessed of all the royal attributes that leave the girls breathless. But beneath the easy charm, the handsome face and the instinctive courage, lurks a reluctant ruler who’d happily trade his crown for a life on the bounding main, who’d gladly renounce his throne in search of something to fight for, someone to love.
 
Sebastian (Calypso Baritone to E, Carribean accent, 20s - 50s)
A crab. The court composer, world-class suck-up to King Triton, and a ‘side-stepper’ by nature. Ariel’s unwilling protector under the sea, and later, in the inhospitable world above. Speaks with a Caribbean accent. Good sense of comedy, good dancer and singer.
 
Ursula (Dramatic Alto Eb3-D5, 30s - 40s)
A Sea Witch and Triton’s estranged sister, banished forever for dabbling in The Black Arts. Personality as huge as her ambition. Tentacles as numerous as her devilish spells. Wildly smart, sinister and sarcastic. Luxuriously sexy, sultry and statuesque. Desperate to overthrow her brother and reclaim the undersea realm once and for all!
Grimsby (Light character patter vocals, 30s - 50s)
Prince Eric’s British guardian. Long-suffering, no-nonsense and big-hearted. More a companion and confidant than a guardian, without whose astute counsel Eric would be lost, and at sea. A source of advice, a center of gravity. Occasionally exasperated by, but entirely devoted to, his young charge, the Prince.
 
King Triton (Booming Baritone to E, Early 40s)
The Son of Poseidon, King of the Undersea World, with a profound belief that the Human World is dangerous and to be shunned. A powerful, uncompromising monarch, and the harried father of seven mermaid daughters. Commanding, regal, charismatic, sexy – and, when it comes to his girls, especially his youngest, Ariel – a doting and deeply devoted dad.
 
Scuttle (Tenor/Baritone to A, tap dance, 30s - 40s)
A seagull. Fancies himself the ocean’s Greatest Living Expert on humans and their peculiar (and often revolting) stuff. Full of confidence, positivity, and, of course, feathers. Ariel depends on him for the bird’s-eye view of the world and life. A real song and dance man-type.
 
Flotsam & Jetsam (Tenor to B, falsetto to high D, 20s - 30s)
Two eels, high-voltage low-lifes who are Ursula’s lackeys and partners in crime. Ssslippery, ssslimy sssnakes in the (sea) grass. Good comic actors and good movers.
Louis (French accent)
the royal chef
Flounder (Boy Pop Soprano, belt to D, moves well, 10 - 12)
A little fish in a big pond. A faithful friend small enough to look up to the little mermaid, Ariel. What he lacks in courage he more than makes up for in enthusiasm.
