CONTRIBUTED PHOTO The cast is pictured for the MHS fall musical “The Little Mermaid” which is at 7 p.m. on Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Marshalltown High School will present the fall musical Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” at 7 p.m. on Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday in the MHS/Community Auditorium.

The musical is based on the movie which centers around Ariel, a mermaid who falls in love with a human. She rebels against her father and seeks comfort and support from her underwater friends.

Olivia Adams-Zmolek plays the lead role of Ariel in the musical. She said guests can expect bright, colorful costumes, big music and just “a real treat” of a show.

“I’ve wanted to be Ariel since I was 4 watching the movie,” she said.

The musical is led by drama director Peter Grady, musical director Amy Ose and pit orchestra director Brett Umthun.

Admission is at the door prior to the shows (no pre-sale tickets) and the cost is $5 per person. Activity passes will be honored.
