Next month, ABC will take us under the sea in a live musical adaptation of The Little Mermaid. Premiering November 5, The Wonderful World of Disney Presents The Little Mermaid Live! is billed as a "special tribute to the original animated classic and its timeless music," and will even feature some of the music from the actual Broadway production.

Ahead of its airing, EW has posted exclusive cast photos for what the publication is calling our "first look" at the characters (even though we've already seen a teaser). Either way, the cast is incredibly talented and they look stellar in their roles.

Bringing Ariel to life is Auli'i Cravalho, who played the titular character in Walt Disney Animation Studios' Moana. Joining her is Queen Laifah as Ursula, Graham Phillips (The Good Wife, Riverdale) as Prince Eric, John Stamos as Chef Louis, and Shaggy as Sebastian.

Check out each of their character photos below.

Flipping her fins, who knows how far she’ll go? The powerful voice behind Moana takes on a new aquatic heroine for The Wonderful World of Disney presents The Little Mermaid Live! (airing Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 8 p.m.). EW has your exclusive first look at Cravalho as Ariel, as well as all her costars in ABC’s live musical event. Click through the gallery to see all the other actors in character for the first time.


Meet your new Disney Prince! Phillips is best known for playing Julianna Margulies son on The Good Wife, but has also appeared on Riverdale and Atypical. He’s also no stranger to musicals; he appeared on Broadway in 13.


Poor, unfortunate souls beware, because this Ursula is ready to take over. The Grammy-, Emmy-, and Golden Globe-winning Latifah is heading back to her musical roots with this live-action production, and that hairstyle could not be more perfect.


Orville Richard Burrell CD, a.k.a. reggae musician Shaggy, is bringing major “It Wasn’t Me” vibes to the grouchiest crustacean in Disney history. He’s already rocking the requisite red!


The Wonderful World of Disney Presents The Little Mermaid Live! airs Tuesday, November 5 at 8:00 p.m.
