A charming and adventurous human prince who has little interest in taking the throne.
After Ariel saves his life, Eric becomes determined to find the mysterious woman whose voice captured his heart.
The role calls for a performer who can portray warmth, curiosity, and an adventurous personality.

Flounder is enthusiastic and playful but often cautious about the dangers above and below the sea.
The character balances nervous energy with genuine affection and loyalty.
3. KING TRITON
The powerful King of the Sea and Ariel’s protective father.
Although commanding and intimidating, Triton is also a concerned single parent who deeply loves his daughters.
His fear of humans stems from the loss of his wife, creating emotional complexity beneath his authoritative personality.
4. SEBASTIAN
A musically gifted crab who serves as King Triton’s trusted advisor.
Sebastian is constantly worried about Ariel’s adventurous behavior but ultimately struggles to stand in the way of her dreams.
The role offers opportunities for expressive comedy and musical characterization.
5. URSULA
A calculating and manipulative sea witch who was banished from the kingdom.
As King Triton’s sister, Ursula is driven by resentment and her ambition to seize control of the underwater realm.
Performers should be prepared to portray a bold, deceptive, and commanding villain.

Potential characters include:
