The Little Mermaid BJT Audition Monologues
Ariel: But I didn’t mean to…Nothing happened. Daddy they are not barbarians…I’m old enough to look after myself…If you’d just listen to me for once…You’re so unfair. (Beat) If only I could make my Father understand. I just don’t see how a world that makes such beautiful things could be so bad!
Eric: Miss are you all right? You seem very familiar. Of course it’s you. I’ve been looking for you everywhere. What’s your name? Sore throat huh? You don’t speak at all. I’m sorry, for a moment I mistook you for somebody else. What is it? You’re hurt?, No, no, you need help. Well I’ve got just the remedy, a warm bath and a hot meal. Come on now, the palace isn’t far.
Sebastian: O Sire, you’re gonna love this number! I wrote it for my star pupil…your youngest, such a voice that child. Notes as clear as ice, pitch as pure as water! Why I haven’t heard such a magnificent sound since the Queen…You’re gonna be so proud. If only that girl would show up for rehearsals once in a while.
Ursula: Impertinent Mermaid I’ll dispatch you just as easily as I eliminated your mother. Yes Father was right. And you’ll soon see just how insignificant the Merfolk become When Ursula’s in charge. With trident in hand, I’ll unleash the power of Poseidon to destroy you all.
Grimsby: I swore an oath to your dear Father on his death bed that I’d turn you from a roustabout into a royal and have you married to a Princess! You know, there is more to a woman than her flutter kick. Our kingdom needs a Queen. Perhaps, you’re not looking hard enough!
King Triton: Why I’ve never been prouder. Somehow in the blink of an eye when my back was turned you grew up. You belong to his world now. Just remember, when you hear the surf roar at night and feel the tingle of salt in the air…It’s only your Father checking in on his little girl.
Sebastian 2: Out of the frying pan and into the fire. The things I do for you young lady. Now I should march you right back home to your Father so you can be miserable the rest of your life. It’s true. I got no backbone. All right child I’m in. But we gotta get that boy to kiss you before it’s too late. You gotta bat your eyelids like this…then you gotta pucker your lips like this!
Flounder: Ariel traded her voice to the Sea Witch to become human. Now she’s got three days to make Prince Eric fall in love with her. And to prove it He’s gotta kiss her. Oh no and there is only one day left. This could be our last chance.
Carlotta: Imagine washing up like that on the beach. Must’ve been a horrible shipwreck. I don’t suppose we’ll ever know the truth. Why you can’t even speak poor dear. Well never mind. After you scrub in the tub, you’ll be fresh as a daisy in a beautiful new frock.
Audition song: Under the Sea (1st Chorus) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C0A5nkEGSc
Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea
