Breakdown
THE LITTLE MERMAID
SEEKING:
ARIEL (female-presenting, age 16 - 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. Hardheaded, naive, and emotional, but also kind hearted.
URSULA - THIS ROLE IS CAST. (female-presenting, age 35 - 45): The banished Sea Witch and sister of King Triton. Supposedly spurned at childhood, she will use whatever method necessary to steal the kingdom and claim it as her own. Malevolent, calculating, and deceptive.
PRINCE ERIC - THIS ROLE IS CAST. (male-presenting, age 20 - 30): A human monarch who has no interest of taking the crown. A handsome, affable lad with a buoyant, adventurous nature. After Ariel saves his life, he becomes obsessed with finding her and hearing her voice once more.
GRIMSBY (male-presenting, age 40 - 60): Prince Eric's British guardian. Droll, stuffy, and constantly urging Eric towards his royal duties, specifically marriage.
SCUTTLE (male-presenting, age 25 - 40): A disheveled seagull and expert in human artifacts. Loudmouthed, optimistic, and a bit ignorant, despite his supposed expertise.
KING TRITON (male-presenting, age 35 - 40): King of the Sea and Ariel's father. Beneath his imposing presence and commanding nature lurks a harried single father who will do anything to protect his daughters. The death of his wife has also given him an irrational fear of humans.
SEBASTIAN (male-presenting or female-presenting, age 30 - 45): A crab and advisor to King Triton. A musical virtuoso who is constantly distraught from keeping after Ariel. Despite his paranoia, he can't bring himself to stand in Ariel's way.
FLOTSAM (male-presenting or female-presenting, age 20 - 40): An eel and one of Ursula's lackeys. Oily and spineless, they will say anything you want or need to hear.
JETSAM (male-presenting or female-presenting, age 20 - 40): An eel and one of Ursula's lackeys. Oily and spineless, they will say anything you want or need to hear.
CHEF LOUIS (male-presenting, age 30 - 50): The French palace chef, diabolical and violent. A culinary perfectionist with an affinity for blades, seafood in particular.
ENSEMBLE: Crew Members (Pilot, Sailors); Sea Creatures; Mersisters (Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, Allana); Gulls; Maids; Chefs; Animals; Princesses (Also two off stage swings)
