From The Directors\u2019 Roundtable: LITTLE MERMAID Suggested Drops<\/h1>\n

THE LITTLE MERMAID<\/a> is a classic show, dear to audiences and Directors alike. This versatile show delivers a wide array of emotions, ranging from bright and upbeat to dark and sinister. Directors also have the option of choosing between obtaining rights to the script for the full show or a Junior version, depending upon the age of your cast. Once you know the age of your actors and have decided upon which themes and emotions you want to incorporate into your production, it\u2019s time to start planning out your scenery options. We tapped our Directors\u2019 Roundtable for their thoughts on the best scenic imagery for this popular show.<\/p>\n

Under the Sea<\/em> – Coral Kingdom<\/h2>\n

Every LITTLE MERMAID production needs high quality undersea scenery. If wish to use one backdrop to support multiple undersea scenes, we suggest something that\u2019s vibrant, colorful, and chock full of sea life. That is exactly what our artists had in mind when they were drafting and painting our Coral Kingdom<\/a> drop. In fact, this particular backdrop was developed specifically to support\u00a0THE LITTLE MERMAID<\/a>. The backdrop depicts vibrant fish, a sea turtle, coral, and one of the ocean\u2019s most notable inhabitants, the great white shark. Use lighting to emphasize the coral and fish to convey a cheerful tone. Focus lights on the great white to give any stage a more ominous feel.<\/p>\n

Part of Your World<\/em> – Ariel’s Grotto<\/h2>\n

One of the most noteworthy scenes in the production takes place in Ariel\u2019s Grotto<\/a>. In this scene, Ariel sings the famous \u201cPart of Your World\u201d. This song proved one of the show\u2019s biggest hits, even making its way onto the radio and into remixes by artists like Bruno Mars. (Can you believe that this song almost didn\u2019t make the final cut for the original film? We sure can\u2019t!) \u00a0In this scene, Ariel shares her desire to join the human world and her affection for the many collectibles that she has acquired over the years. This drop sets that scene perfectly. It features an assortment of human objects, from vases to a treasure chest to Spanish armor.<\/p>\n

Poor Unfortunate Souls<\/em> –\u00a0Inside Ursula’s Lair<\/h2>\n

After Ariel saves Eric’s life, she falls in love with him and longs to join the human world. However, her father has firm rules against interacting with humans. Desperate, she seeks help from her Aunt Ursula, a sea witch.Ursula needs a sinister abode that is befitting her rendition of \u201cPoor Unfortunate Souls.\u201d Our Artistic Team took this into account when designing Ursula\u2019s Lair<\/a>. This drop allows you create a setting that conveys Ursula\u2019s ominous persona while incorporating her signature fuchsia. Built into an underwater cavern that hints at the rib cage of a sea monster, Ursula\u2019s Lair has even found a home in the second act of some director\u2019s renditions of the production, providing scenery for Triton\u2019s banishment.<\/p>\n

“Out of the Sea” – Scenes on Shore<\/h2>\n

This show doesn\u2019t just stay under the sea. Many of the scenes call for settings that take place on dry land and in a royal setting. With that in mind, our team designed Castle on the Beach<\/a>. This backdrop gives you imagery for many scenes in the production. From the time Ariel pulls Eric onshore to Eric choosing his bride during \u201cThe Contest\u201d, this drop will give you all of the background elements that you need.<\/p>\n

Our Directors\u2019 Roundtable chose four from our LITTLE MERMAID<\/a> collection that they feel sum up the show. If your vision calls for additional scenes, our team has created a wide assortment of additional options for this show. With the strategic implementation of lighting and the addition of props and set pieces, you can bring your audience into Ariel and Ursula\u2019s magical undersea world no matter where your stage may be. If you are on the hunt for LITTLE MERMAID scenery<\/a>, we would love to hear about your plans and vision. The creativity that our clients share with us is a constant inspiration. As much as we know theatre, talking to Directors across the nation is always an educational experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
