“Disney’s The Little Mermaid”

Alan Menken (Music); Howard Ashman & Glenn Slater (Lyrics);

Doug Wright (Book)

The Little Mermaidmay sound like the perfect outing for young girls and their parents.  While that is certainly true, the opening night crowd at Palo Alto Players that included folks of all ages (including an impressive number of guys and gals in their teens and twenties) proves that this Disney classic is set to be a community-wide hit for everyone.
