Disney’s *The Little Mermaid* follows Ariel, a young mermaid drawn to life above the water who trades away her voice in pursuit of love, only to confront the cost of that bargain. The story comes from Hans Christian Andersen by way of the 1989 animated film, with stage music by Alan Menken and lyrics rooted in Howard Ashman’s work, later expanded by Glenn Slater. In this Prudential Center presentation, Disney On Ice reframes the tale as a family ice show, where gliding becomes the natural language of the underwater world. The Broadway musical premiered in New York in 2008, and its legacy includes the practical challenge of staging aquatic movement without losing emotional clarity.
