Flounder is a major character in the musical adapation of The Little Mermaid, based on the character of the same name.
Background[]
His supporting role is similar to the film, but he does not give Ariel the statue of Eric and does not help Ariel reach Eric's wedding barge, as the Vanessa subplot has been removed. However, Flounder performs a new song titled "She's in Love", which he sings with Ariel's sisters when they notice that Ariel has been acting "fishy lately". The stage role was originated by Cody Hanford and J.J. Singleton, but the two actors had to leave the show when their height overshot that of Sierra Boggess, who originated Ariel. The role was taken over by Trevor Braun and Brian D'Addario. On the Original Broadway Cast Recording, Brian D'Addario performs as Flounder. He is voiced in Japanese by Rica Matsumoto as a child and Yūji Mitsuya as an adult.
Trivia[]
- In the Broadway version of The Little Mermaid, Flounder has a secret crush on Ariel, but gives up those feelings after seeing how much Ariel loves Eric.
