The BHS Fall production of “The Little Mermaid” is in the works. Junior Petra Morris, cast as Ariel, is giving 100% towards the preparations for her role.

 “I have so many songs that everyone has already started to work on their lines but I’m still working on my songs, and I have not started to work on my lines,” Morris said.

“I see Petra working on her music like all of the time, even when we’re together hanging out she’s working on her music,” said Isabel Walker, cast as Ursula.

Speaking of roles, The Little Mermaid has so many, and it will take a lot of talent to put the show together. 

“I think that this show was casted very perfectly and I think that it’s just gonna be a really good experience and a fun thing for the audience to watch,” Morris said. 

“Petra has been super self-motivated and taking this opportunity very seriously,” said Choir Director Shelby Hanna. “I have loved watching her thrive.”

It’s going to be a difficult show, but she is confident that it’s going to be a good one. 

“I think Petra is going to do great for the musical this year, she has put in a lot of work and is a fantastic singer,” said Camden Cox, playing the role of Prince Eric.

 “I am so happy that Ms. Jacobson has entrusted me with this role,” Morris said.

There are so many things contributing to a musical, like costumes, lines, and acting. When asked what she is most looking forward to, Morris said the solo songs she’ll be singing. `

“I’m really looking forward to Part of Your World,” Morris said. “I think I’ve added a lot of character to it and I can’t wait to express that.” 

We all have high hopes for the show, and the leads especially want it to go well. 

“I think that as long as we all put in the work and the effort, it will be really good,” said Morris, who is looking forward to the show. With one final word, she said: “Jesus loves you!”
