Featuring music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this splash-hit production will reel you in from the very first note.
Bring the whole family and dive into a sea of unforgettable songs, including “Under the Sea,” “Part of Your World,” and “Poor Unfortunate Souls”, all brought to life by over 250 of Auckland's best young performers.

With a strictly limited season of just four public performances, you won’t want to let this opportunity drift away. Grab your tickets and join us under the sea for a magical adventure that’s simply mer-mazing!
