The much loved Disney favourite 'The Little Mermaid' is now a stage show, and will be dazzling audiences very soon in Newcastle!!!
It was an honour when Disney awarded The Hunter Region Drama School the rights to the stage production of 'The Little Mermaid Jnr' (the same Little Mermaid story that we all love, just performed by a cast of nine to eighteen year olds).
It's a first for Australia, and a major coup for Newcastle and the Hunter Region.
In the words of our incredible director, Daniel Stoddart “This production will be like nothing Newcastle has seen before. We’ve taken the Hunter’s outstanding young talent, and secured an internationally loved story and songs. We’ve combined these with innovative sets and costumes to deliver a show that would shine on Broadway.”
This talented bunch is also the first Australian company ever to be invited to perform at the Junior Theatre Festival, an annual international event held in Atlanta in the USA, and they'll be excitedly heading over in January to perform scenes from The Little Mermaid Jnr.
I am a little biased as my daughter is performing in this amazing show, but I do have to say, this show is a
MUST if you've got kids or are just young at heart and you live within a couple of hours of Newcastle...or are keen for a road trip or flying visit
It's only a couple of weeks now until the performance, so don't miss out and get in soon to get your tickets, your kids will love you for it
and don't forget to wear your favourite 'mer'costume along to the show
The Little Mermaid Jr is on for five shows at the Civic Theatre from Thursday, October 9, until Saturday, October 11.
