ABOUT “ARIEL”
Ariel is a mermaid girl in her late teens, on the verge of maturity. She is a soon-to-be siren with a frisky sense of fun. An innocent, headstrong and spirited girl overflowing with feelings that are fathoms deep, daring to dream about a different world, the world above the sea. Those who want to audition must move well, but need not be a trained dancer. Vocal range: Soprano with a crystal clear flawless belt to E.
