About

This September, dive deep under the sea with Encore Theatre Collective as they bring their spectacular production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid to the Bruce Mason Centre! 

In a kingdom fathoms below, Ariel, King Triton’s youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colourful friends, Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull, and Sebastian the crab to restore order in the ocean. 

Based on the 1989 Academy Award winning film, The Little Mermaid features some of Disney’s most irresistible songs, including “Part Of Your World”, “Kiss The Girl”, and “Poor Unfortunate Souls”.

Since launching in 2019, Encore Theatre Collective has dazzled thousands of audience members across Auckland with their magical and memorable productions, and continues to redefine the standard of youth theatre in New Zealand. Disney’s The Little Mermaid promises to be no exception, with astonishing costumes, stunning flying effects and an incredible cast of the country’s finest young performers.

Disney’s The Little Mermaid is theatrical entertainment that will enchant the whole family – what more is you looking for?

    Cute show

    by CKlein413 on 8/9/14Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts - Raleigh

    The show was good - some variations from the movie, but close enough. Good voices, colorful outfits & a solid performance. I would suggest folks with kids seriously think if they should take them or get a sitter for them. It is a couple hours & Ursula is pretty good. We saw several families with small kids leave before the show was over - I imagine they were scared or it was just too long for them.

    Amazing Colors

    by MommyDivaAuntie on 8/6/14Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts - Raleigh

    The seats were great and the colors of the show were amazing . I took my 8 year old daughter and 7 year old niece and they thoroughly enjoyed the show. The scene changes were quick and effortless. The actors had amazing voices.The show brought back so many memories of some of my favorite songs and scenes from the movie.

    Little Mermaid on Stage

    by AliceCI on 8/6/14Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts - Raleigh

    This was an excellent musical performance. It is important to remind small children that this does not exactly approximate the movie. My little ones enjoyed hearing new songs and noticing slight differences in plot. They were also inspired by the young performers in this rendition. Really enjoyed the show. The costumes also were beautiful.

    little mermaid

    by 73stacey on 8/6/14Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts - Raleigh

    Show was good. Expected more disney quality with costumes and props. There was no meet and greet. Only one vendor with limited items. Voices were very good. Didn't like the video clips in place of acting scene it looked cheezy. Overall it was good but, less than expected.

    Little Mermaid is Fun, but not Fabulous

    by Anonymous on 8/5/14Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts - Raleigh

    We thoroughly enjoyed the production of Disney's The Little Mermaid, but it does not compare to The Lion King or Mary Poppins. The biggest disappointments? Flounder. Great actor, great job, but the costume was horrible and Flounder never had a crush on Ariel. Big mistake to play with the story line to that degree. The performers did a fantastic job, but the visual effects fell way short of a Disney production. Why the crude, old video trying to capture Ariel under the sea saving Prince Eric. It was horrible. With all they have these days digitally, it could have been spectacular. Instead those kind of images were very cheesy. And, why no dog?! Just too many changes to the original story line. That was disappointing, but it was fun and the performers were great.

    WONDERFUL!!!!!

    by RPHCON05 on 8/5/14Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts - Raleigh

    The Little Mermaid was a wonderful, family show. I enjoyed it as did my 4 year old. Perfect length so she was not bored or distracted and wonderful bright costumes. We went home and she asked could we go back the next day!!!!!!

    Tired Venue with an Avererage Performance

    by Anonymous on 8/5/14Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts - Raleigh

    The Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts is really looking like a tired venue. The atmosphere is one of drab with the grey walls and and minimalist decor. In regard to the play Disney's The Little Mermaid, it truly was feast or famine. The actors playing Sabastian and Flounder were absolutely wonderful, Arial and her sisters performed very well, and the remaining cast performances were fairly nondescript, a disappointment considering several of the roles were lead roles. And the set left much to be desired. Most of the costumes were adequate, but many lacked the artistry that one would expect from a theater performance. And the "animated" scenes during the performance were extremely amateur and did little to add value to the production, in fact, it deterred from it. All in all, it was a fine time, and I would not consider my time wasted, but I will probably not return to the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts until there is an overhaul of the theaters interior. And I would probably downplay my friends expectations of this performance if they had already purchased tickets.

    The Little Mermaid

    by MomtoaprincessinRaleigh on 8/5/14Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts - Raleigh

    I was hoping for a little more creative variation and humor in the show. It pretty much followed the Disney movie word for word. A bit boring in my opinion since I've seen that movie many, many times during my daughter's childhood. The show did offer a few new songs, and of course, included all of the favorites. But it would have been nice to have seen them take some creative liberties to make it more interesting and entertaining.

    Little Mermaid was eye candy!

    by Lulu911 on 8/5/14Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts - Raleigh

    The Little Mermaid costumes and set design were breathtaking! The orchestra was fabulous as well. There were a few extra songs and numbers that were not part of the original movie. I didn't care for the Scuttle number, but it was the only song and dance routine that seemed out of place. Sebastian was phenomenal and Under The Sea routine was marvelous! My girls and I thoroughly enjoyed this event!!

    Every actress and actor has great talent

    by SueofCary on 8/5/14Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts - Raleigh

    Ursula's voice is so powerful. The Flounder boy's performance is just amazing. And the stage design is very lively and scenically beautiful.
