Make Disney’s The Little Mermaid part of your world this summer

Beef & Boards’ 2025 Season Family Show now on stage

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre dives into summer with Disney’s The Little Mermaid, now on stage. Broadway’s adaptation of Disney’s famous film is the featured Family Show of Beef & Boards’ 2025 Season.

Journey under the sea with the mermaid Ariel and her friends Flounder, Scuttle, and Sebastian as she pursues an unlikely love in a world beyond her own. Realizing her limits on land without legs, Ariel bargains with Ursula, the sea witch, to get them – but at a hefty price. It’s going to take her determination and the help of her friends to ultimately find her happily ever after.
