Dive under the sea into The Little Mermaid pantomime. Where bubbly jokes, fishy antics, and magical mayhem await! Princess Ariel dreams of life above the waves, despite warnings from her flamboyant “twin!” sister, pantomime dame Princess Persil (the BIG mermaid), and crustacean comic sidekick Lobster Thermidor.
When Prince Finn’s royal ship is caught in a storm stirred up by Ariel’s wicked sea witch aunt Octavia, Ariel gets her chance to help and falls head over fins in love. But with Queen Neptuna dethroned and the mighty trident stolen, the entire ocean
realm is in danger of sinking into chaos.
Luckily, the ethereal Mother of Pearl and her mischievous daughter Pearl are watching over things, while hapless hench-fish Davy and Jones bumble their way through Octavia’s villainous deeds. With sea shanties, stormy spells, and one very soggy Dame, this is a tidal wave of family fun guaranteed to make a splash!
