Exciting news for fans of The Little Mermaid! Although we still have a few weeks until the highly anticipated live musical airs on ABC, the first look at the cast has just been revealed. Disney enthusiasts have much to celebrate, as the studio is also in the process of casting its live-action remake of the beloved animated classic. Many are eagerly awaiting Halle Bailey’s portrayal of Ariel in this modern adaptation, but production won’t begin until next April, meaning the release is still a long way off.
In the meantime, we can enjoy ABC’s upcoming live TV musical event, which is set to premiere on November 5. If you’re looking for a quick fix, the newly released trailer provides a tantalizing glimpse of the talented cast in character. The promo is filled with nostalgia, featuring key cast members against the backdrop of Ariel’s enchanting voice singing for Ursula. Iconic underwater scenes are also showcased, including Ariel’s iconic hair flip, perfect for Instagram.
Cast Highlights
In this live adaptation, Auli’i Cravalho takes on the role of Ariel, her second major Disney character after voicing Moana. With her impressive vocal skills, you can expect her to deliver a stunning performance. Queen Latifah steps into the shoes of the villain, Ursula, while Shaggy portrays Ariel’s trusty lobster companion Sebastian—how that will translate to live performance is anyone’s guess! John Stamos will appear as the scheming Chef Louis, and Graham Phillips, known for his work in Riverdale, will play Prince Eric.
This marks ABC’s second musical adaptation, following its 2017 production of Dirty Dancing, although this time the performance will be live, adding another layer of excitement.
