Movie: “The Little Mermaid” (2023)

Orchestra Hall enjoys the distinction of being the only movie theater on the Marblehead Peninsula as well as in all of Ottawa County. Enjoy watching new and classic films in this historic theater.

Orchestra Hall will feature the 2023 movie “The Little Mermaid” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22 and Saturday, Sept. 23. This movie is free of charge, but Lakeside Chautauqua values donations to support these types of extended season programs.

“The Little Mermaid” is a live-action adaptation of Disney’s 1989 animated film of the same name, itself loosely based on the 1837 fairy tale of the same title by Hans Christian Andersen. The film stars singer Halle Bailey, alongside Jonah Hauer-King, Melissa McCarthy, Javier Bardem, Daveed Diggs, Jacob Tremblay and more.

The movie follows the mermaid princess Ariel (Halle Bailey) who is fascinated with the human world and makes a deal with the treacherous sea witch Ursula (Melissa McCarthy) to trade her voice for human legs to impress Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King), whom she saved from a shipwreck. (PG, 2h 15m)

Admission and Parking Passes to enter Lakeside Chautauqua are not required for this fall weekend activity.
