The lush, beautiful score is unlike anything in musical theater today, featuring songs from the Disney animated feature and new music from legendary composer Alan Menken (iconic Disney films and Broadway musicals including: The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and Newsies) and lyrics by Tony Award®-winner Stephen Schwartz (Broadway sensations including Wicked, Godspell and Pippin). This 5th Avenue staging will be directed by Glenn Casale, who staged the acclaimed production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid at The 5th Avenue Theatre last winter. Of the production’s staging at the Sacramento Music Circus, the Sacramento Bee proclaimed “Casale’s subtle touches highlight the story’s tugging sense of our shared humanity and leave a lasting impression.”
