• Ariel: Female Identifying, 18 - 25. A mermaid and King Triton's youngest daughter. She is obsessed with everything about the human world, and dreams of becoming a part of life above the water. Determined, spirited, and compassionate. Aerial experience preferred but not required for this role. Ab3 - Gb5.
• Prince Eric: Male Identifying, 20s - 30s. A human monarch who has no interest in taking the crown. Charming and kind-hearted with an adventurous nature. After Ariel saves his life, he becomes obsessed with finding her. B2 - G4.
