The 15 minute show will also include music from the films and special effects, such as on-stage pyrotechnics.

At Tokyo DisneySea, a revamped 15-minute musical production themed to Disney’s The Little Mermaid will be presented at the Mermaid Lagoon Theater. King Triton will host a musical concert with Disney characters, such as Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian. 

The current musical production “Under the Sea,” will close permanently on April 6, 2014. “The Legend of Mythica”, the daytime harbor show which opened in July 2006, will close on Sept. 7, 2014.
