Co-devised by Bea Roberts and Pins and Needles. Written by Bea Roberts.
Thousands of leagues deep beneath the sea, a shipwrecked 1950s cruise liner is the grand palace where five little mermaids live - but don't imagine this is going to be a pink and frilly princess story...
Unlike her sisters who are happy with a life of dances, duty and dignitaries, Morgan is sick of swimming in sync.
Thrillingly magical, breathtakingly visual, hilarious and mischievous, Little Mermaid promises an amazing family adventure, all set to a shimmering soundtrack of classic 80s pop.
LITTLE MERMAID was co-produced with the egg, Theatre Royal Bath for Christmas 2017.
