With just a few days to go until the official debut, Disney has released a new preview video for The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure, offering fans a one-minute glimpse at the reimagined stage production opening May 27, 2025, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.



The short highlight video showcases several parts of the new show, including appearances by Ariel, Prince Eric, Ursula, and Sebastian, along with a first look at the set design, theatrical lighting, and puppetry that will bring the undersea world to life.

The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure is a completely reimagined version of the former Voyage of the Little Mermaid show. The new production features updated musical arrangements of fan favorites like Kiss the Girl and Poor Unfortunate Souls, a fresh narrative focus from Ariel’s perspective, and modern staging techniques that include motion-capture animation and scenic transformations.




The show will run daily from 9:15 am to 7:15 pm and will offer Lightning Lane access through the Multi Pass and Premier Pass options.

Sometimes, the body wants to burp and you can't do anything about it.

I have directed a few musicals now where my leads can get through a show without a single bum note. Some people can just do it. I don’t know why that’s so difficult to believe.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid was able to run every 25 minutes before it closed. The new show has to be 40 minutes apart because of all the new tech that simply takes longer to reset between performances. So unfortunately less showtimes and therefore less capacity per day.

Show was an absolute delight, I really hope we see more of the transparent screen projections in the future because it offers some incredible depth to a stage show

Then again, few live Disney shows expect a performer to belt out a 10-minute show-stopper with a three octave range.

You here vocal flubs, sharps and flats on Broadway all the time. Never at a Disney stage performance.
