Mishaps and mayhem in davy jones's locker
Deep below the sea, it's the oldest story in the world: first love, teenage rebellion, coming of age... and jazz fins! When Poseidon, the god of the sea, forbids his beautiful but naive mermaid daughter from romancing an equally goofy pirate prince, she turns to the only magical undersea cabaret star in the entire ocean and makes a deadly deal- trading her voice for a new pair of legs. Can her mersisters, a flock of cranes, a pirate crew and every creature under the sea rescue her and help love find away, or will she perish unloved and unsung?
"Mermaid! The Musical" is a fast, funny, low-budget crowd-pleaser with its tongue planted firmly in cheek. At once an adaptation of the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale and a loving send-up of the "Disney musical" genre, "Mermaid" is guaranteed to leave your audience laughing, clapping and humming their way out of the theatre. With a colorful score of power ballads, sea shanteys, Brechtian cabaret tunes and musical pastiches from "Little Shop" to "The Book of Mormon," "Mermaid" will offer something to delight kids and parents, fairy tale fans and Broadway aficionados, across the board... or should we say, across the deck?
