Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre brings Disney's "The Little Mermaid" to Indianapolis

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre dives into summer with Disney’s The Little Mermaid, now on stage. Broadway’s adaptation of Disney’s famous film is the featured Family Show of Beef & Boards’ 2025 Season.

Journey under the sea with the mermaid Ariel and her friends Flounder, Scuttle, and Sebastian as she pursues an unlikely love in a world beyond her own. Realizing her limits on land without legs, Ariel bargains with Ursula, the sea witch, to get them – but at a hefty price. It’s going to take her determination and the help of her friends to ultimately find her happily ever after.

Disney’s The Little Mermaid musical includes the songs “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl,” and “Part of Your World.” The show is directed by Elizabeth Payne, choreographed by Sally Scharbrough, with musical direction by Jill Stewart.
