Sometimes you gotta send a princess to do History Archivesa princess's job.
The Hollywood Reporterreports that ABC will air a live concert of The Little Mermaid, and that certified Disney princess Auli'i Cravalho will sing the role of Ariel. Cravalho previously voiced Moana in 2016's Moana, about a princess who lives on an island and wants to explore the sea. Take that idea, reverse it, and that's The Little Mermaidin a nutshell.
In addition to Cravalho, ABC announced Queen Latifah as Ursula and Shaggy as Sebastian the crab. The Little Mermaid live will be Queen Latifah's second time performing in a live television musical; she previously played The Wiz in 2016's The Wizon NBC in addition to her supporting role in the movie version of Hairspray and her Oscar-nominated role in 2002's Chicago.
As for Shaggy, bless whoever cast him as Sebastian. It feels impossible somehow that he has not already played Sebastian, considering his two Best Reggae Album Grammys and distinctive, recognizable voice. "Under the Sea" will never be the same after Shaggy puts his spin on it.

Though it is being billed as a concert, THR reports that the show "will feature intricate sets and costumes."
This live production is of course in addition to the live-action The Little Mermaidcurrently in pre-production at Disney, which stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, and with Melissa McCarthy, Awkwafina, and Harry Styles all in talks to join.
That's a lot of mermaids, but considering The Little Mermaidis one of Disney's best-loved animated movies, it's better not to complain about the full sea of adaptations.
