Ordway: The Little Mermaid – See it Live on Stage!

See performances of The Little Mermaid at the Ordway in St. Paul through December 29th!

I think that most of us know about the tale of The Little Mermaid from one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories and from the classic Disney animated film based on that story. The story takes on a whole new life when it is live on stage at the Ordway!

UPDATE: There are only a few days left to see the show and you can save 25% on all evening performances with *promo code COMM25!

I had a chance to see it with my sister last week and we loved it. I could give you a whole laundry list of why, but I’ll keep it short! The cast is great with top-notch singing and animated performances. I think Dana Orange as Sebastian and Liz McCartney as Ursula are standouts (which is maybe easy to do with those charismatic roles) and Leianna Weaver as Ariel and Christian Probst as Prince Eric fit their roles to a T with amazing singing voices.

The sets and costuming are GORGEOUS and really make the whole show magical. It’s beautiful to see the characters doing what actually looks like swimming above the stage.

And it’s a treat to see long-familiar songs come to life. To this point neither my sister or I have actually seen the entire Disney film, but we do know most of the songs and we thoroughly enjoyed the “top hits” like “Under the Sea,” “Poor Unfortunate Souls,” “Kiss the Girl,” and “Part of Your World.” I personally loved the fact that there is a tap dance number in the show – we don’t see enough tap these days!

On top of everything else, the Ordway is just a wonderful place to see a show, especially during the holidays. It’s so beautifully decorated and the mood is festive from the minute you enter the doors of the building. I would give the whole experience a glowing review.

I want to give a big thank you to the Ordway for hosting us!

If you’re looking for an extra-special holiday event to do with your family or friends, tickets are still available for The Little Mermaid, which runs at the Ordway through December 29th. Oh, those tickets would make a great holiday gift too!
