“The Little Mermaid,” based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories and the classic Disney animated film, will come to the Bainbridge Performing Arts stage Friday, May 13.

Featuring the artistic team that led BPA’s production of “The Drowsy Chaperone” last season, the show is directed by Joanna Hardie, whose choreography has also been seen at BPA in “Little Shop of Horrors,” “Shrek,” “The Full Monty,” “Chicago,” “The Rocky Horror Show” and “A Chorus Line.”

Josh Anderson — fresh off the sets of “Amadeus,” “Mary Poppins” and “Hair,” returns to provide music direction and Debbie Pierce provides choreography.

Together, this creative directing trio leads an enticing cast of newcomers and BPA veterans, including Myriah Riedel (Ariel), Riley Donahue (Prince Eric), Jasmine Joshua (Ursula), Rachel Brinn (Scuttle), Jesse Smith (Sebastian), Matt Eldridge (Grimsby), Trey Field Bennett (Flounder), Gregory Conn (Triton), Joey Chapman, Teagan Howlett,  Barbi-Jo Smith, Jordyn Carrillo, Mikeala Karter, Tina Kirkpatrick, Alana Morrison and Rebecca DuRivage-Jacobs, among others.

“The Little Mermaid” is suitable for fun-loving, fanciful dreamers of all ages. It was originally produced by Disney Theatrical Productions and is produced at BPA by special arrangement with Music Theatre International.

The show appears at BPA May 13 through May 29, with shows at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays.
