Subscribe to The Locher Room: https://bit.ly/TheLocherRoom

A Disney Legend and the original voice of Ariel in the Disney Classic The Little Mermaid, Jodi Benson, will join me live in The Locher Room on Thursday, September 1st at 3 p.m. EST / 12 p.m. PST. Jodi will be here to discuss her new memoir, Part of My World, which will be released on September 13th.

Beyond her best-known work as the voice of Ariel in Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Jodi Benson also gave voice to Barbie in Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 2 and 3, and delighted Disney fans with a cameo in Enchanted before reprising her role as Ariel in Ralph Breaks the Internet. She made her starring-role debut on Broadway performing “Disneyland” in Smile, and she earned a Tony nomination as Polly Baker in Crazy for You. In 2011, Disney bestowed upon Jodi their highest honor, naming her a Disney Legend. Jodi continues to share her gift, entertaining audiences across the country and around the world.

In Part of My World, Benson takes readers on a magical journey from a Midwestern town to the bright lights of Broadway and the recording booth where she brought to life one of the most beloved Disney princesses of all time. A treasure trove of colorful characters and unforgettable anecdotes, Part of My World reads like a real-life fairy tale as a girl with a big voice and even bigger dreams sets out on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, Jodi shares lessons she’s learned about faith, friendship, love, loss, taking chances, making mistakes, following God’s call, and chasing your dreams.

Thank you, Jodi Benson, for sharing your faith, love and voice with all of us in this beautiful look back at your life as one of the most famous mermaids in the world, Ariel. I could not put this book down. It helped that I was very lucky to work with Jodi on The Little Mermaid in my early 20's when I was a publicist for The Walt Disney Studios.

Don’t miss the chance to hear from Jodi herself on Thursday, September 1.
