Cast List Disney's The Little Mermaid Junior


Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr. Cast List


Below is the cast list for Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr. These were tough choices, and we could not cast all 81 children that auditioned. We have DOUBLE CAST Ariel and Flounder and each will split the performances (Dates to be decided this week) and then play chorus roles the night they do not play Ariel or Flounder. If you do not see your child’s name on the cast list please know there is still a chance they might get cast in the next few days as someone may not accept their part or not show up. In this event we will go back to the audition forms and offer the next role to those on our standby list. If you did get cast and decide NOT to do the show-please let us know ASAP. FIRST REHEARSAL IS THIS MONDAY in room 6103-THE ENTIRE CAST IS CALLED (The room you auditioned in) at 1pm. THERE IS A PARENTS MEETING AT 1PM ON MONDAY FIRST BEFORE WE START REHEARSAL. THANK YOU!!!! I apologize if I spelled your name wrong.
Please notice most chorus are playing dual roles.
 

REMEMBER-IF YOU DON”T ACCEPT YOUR ROLE OR ARE NOT GOING TO DO THE SHOW-PLEASE CALL ME ASAP 918-697-8825 or e-mail me mark.frank@tulsacc.edu so we can move someone NOT cast in your role.
