During a recent visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we noticed that the iconic Voyage of the Little Mermaid marquee sign has been removed. This removal could signify several possibilities. It may be a precursor to a new marquee sign for the upcoming “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” show, set to debut later this year. However, given the recent investment in the original marquee, it’s also possible that it will be reinstalled, perhaps with some modifications.
The Voyage of the Little Mermaid billboard is still on the side of the building. It will likely be updated as well closer to the opening of “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure.”
“The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure” will call the same Animation Courtyard theater home as its predecessor, “Voyage of the Little Mermaid.” Following the COVID-19 pandemic closure in 2020, “Voyage of the Little Mermaid” did not reopen. Disney announced the new show in late 2023, promising a refreshed theater experience alongside the production. Initially slated for a fall 2024 debut, “The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure” has since been delayed to this year.
“The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure” will feature all-new puppets alongside digital imagery and motion capture to bring King Triton, Ursula, and Ariel’s sisters to life. The show will introduce the song “Daughters of Triton,” performed by Ariel’s sisters, which was not included in the previous production. Notably, Ursula will make a live appearance on stage, adding a new dimension to her character.
