UPDATE: Disney announces 'The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure' coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2024

ORIGINAL ARTICLE:

Plans are underway to open a new version of Voyage of the Little Mermaid at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World.

The original Voyage of the Little Mermaid stage show, which debuted on January 7, 1992, had its final performance in 2020 and did not reopen from the pandemic shutdown of Walt Disney World.

Disney has not yet confirmed the show's return, but we expect an official announcement of Voyage of the Little Mermaid's comeback very soon.

Despite being closed for more than three years, the Voyage of the Little Mermaid marquee has remained in place on the outside of the building. Some freshening up of the exterior and interior can be expected ahead of the relaunch.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid's imminent return will be a big boost for Disney's Hollywood Studios, bringing much-needed capacity to a park that has seen significant attendance increases since the addition of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and Toy Story Land. Disney sees adding more live entertainment as an answer to offering guests more to do between experiencing the high-demand E-ticket attractions.

While we expect official confirmation of Voyage of the Little Mermaid soon, there is still more to come at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Stay tuned.

Announced for the Fall. Let’s hope that’s not a Freudian Slip….

I said the same thing almost verbatim while looking through all this.

Sounds like a legitimate upgrade thus far. It all comes down to execution, though.

Haven’t heard anything about the current state of the theater. Surely, renovations are complete and they’re in rehearsals.

Anything is better… Though the grand franchise relaunch of mermaid was “less than astounding”

I actually miss this show. The park certainly needs it. Happy we are getting a new show with actual live actors.
