Love interest for the shows leading lady Ariel, Eric needs a strong Bari-tenor voice with an ability for some minor dancing/movement and a playing age of 20-35.

Director of the show, Matt Bridgewater, said: “Prince Eric is the adventurous human monarch who captures Ariel’s heart. Charming and sensitive in nature, he has a warm voice and demeanor that evoke his flair for romance.

“There is also a stubborn side to the Prince, who is determined to do whatever it takes to get what he wants – including the girl with the mysterious voice. If you think you could bring the character of Eric to life, get in touch asap.”
