Spontaneous Productions’ presents its 30th original show for families since 2017 – a brand new musical version of the much-loved fairy tale The Little Mermaid adapted from Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale by Lavern Archer and Jonathan Kaufman.
The Little Mermaid has dreamt of visiting the surface and seeing what the Dryland world offers all her life. With the help of her friend, Sylvester the Seahorse, and the magical powers of her stepmother, Auntie Anemone, perhaps that day is coming sooner than she thought. But what wonders lie far above the ocean depths? And is it her destiny to become human?
Featuring all the usual Spontaneous magic – and lots of surprises – this show will whisk you off to an exotic Caribbean setting, with a script co-written by Blue Mountain Theatre Co’s Lavern Archer and original songs by Alessia Marcovecchio, Tom Nugent and performer Marlon-Oliver Harris. With fabulous costumes, as usual, by Jackie Poulett, special UV lighting effects, and unique scenic design, this highly entertaining show is not to be missed!
Joining Spontaneous regulars Marlon-Oliver Harris (as Sylvester the Seahorse & DJ Dishy/Max the Fisherman) and Poppy Pickles as Auntie Anemone, we are delighted to welcome Taz Munyaneza making her Spontaneous debut as The Little Mermaid herself. You’re in for a real treat with special guest vocal performances by Lavern Archer and Hjalmar Nordén as Hans Christian Andersen!
