Who Stars In 'The Little Mermaid Live!'? Meet The Full Cast Here!

We are just hours away from the premiere of The Little Mermaid Live!

The live event marks a special tribute to the original animated classic and will take viewers on a magical adventure under the sea as live musical performances – from the original movie and Broadway musical – will be interwoven into the broadcast of the original feature film.

“The cast are all absolutely perfect. I couldn’t be more thrilled,” director Hamish Hamilton told EW about the stars of the show. “These were the people we went after. They were all our absolute No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 choices.”

He adds, “For them to be so universally acclaimed by fans of the movie and the general public alike, that was great. That gives all the fans out there an illustration of our take on how we’re going to celebrate the feature. Each one of the artists cast so far have an affinity with the original character. You can imagine each of those people playing the roles and you’re excited by them. We’re not doing any shock-and-awe or radical surprises. Auli’i is just the perfect live Ariel.”
