The Little Mermaid (Kenny)

The Little Mermaid (Kenny)

by Mike Kenny

Far below the crashing waves of the ocean’s surface, and into its deepest depths, is where our story begins. The Little Mermaid finds herself out of her depth as she battles with storms and witches to find her one true love. The Little Mermaid weaves a magical tale of love, loss and adventure where two fish characters take us on a journey with the ever-curious little mermaid, who is enthralled with the unknown world above the sea and the humans that inhabit it. The Little Mermaid longs to leave her beautiful world and chase happiness as a human… but transformation and love come at a price.

Full of dramatic fun, fishy frivolity and thoughtfulness… a real winner in theatrical storytelling appeal
