Little Mermaid Lyrics – All Songs from the Musical

The famous Danish fairy tale about "The Little Mermaid" has long attracted the attention of the Walt Disney Company. In 1988, the animated film of the same name was created. D. Wright wrote the libretto to the full-length film; the author of the musical accompaniment was A. Menken. The authors of the lyrics were G. Slater & H. Ashman. This cartoon has become a kind of mascot of The Walt Disney Company and served as a starting point for the end of a long creative crisis.

In the summer of 2007, the libretto by D. Wright was reused for the production of a stage version of the famous animated film. In early 2008, the performance was on the stage of the Lunt-Fontanne Theater on Broadway. Francesca Zambello directed the staging.

In 2012, for the first time the musical was released in Netherlands and went in triumphal tour across the country (tour lasted until mid of 2013). In spring 2012, the play was staged in Eurasian part of Asia. This was a complete repetition of the European version. Unlike the mobile Dutch version, Asian performance was made stationary.
