York Theatre Royal, 07 - 17 February

Come and see why The seaweed is always greener in somebody else’s lake...

Following the stand-out performances of Sweeney Todd, York Light Opera Company bring the much lighter, heartfelt classic Disney’s The Little Mermaid to York Theatre Royal for a very technically spectacular show to end their 70th-year celebrations. Director Martyn Knight and Musical Director Paul Laidlaw have revelled in the beautifully quintessential iconic music and colourful staging of this beloved Disney underwater adventure tale brought to life by a talented cast of local performers, showcasing the company's commitment to producing high-quality musical theatre for the community.

Based on the classic 1989 Disney animated film, The Little Mermaid tells the enchanting story of Ariel, a mermaid who dreams of trading her tail for legs and exploring the human world. With the help of her mischievous sidekick, Flounder, and the cunning Ursula, Ariel strikes a bargain that will change her life forever.

But all is not what it seems...

The York Light Opera Company production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid will feature stunning projection, dazzling costumes, and unforgettable musical numbers, including Under the Sea, Part of Your World, Poor Unfortunate Souls and Kiss the Girl. With additional toe-tapping choreography by Rachael Whitehead, this production promises to be an enchanting experience for audiences of all ages.

"We are incredibly excited to bring Disney's The Little Mermaid to the York stage," said Martyn Knight, Director. "This is a timeless story that has captivated audiences for generations, perfect for all the family, and we can’t wait to delight you all this half term."

Ariel is being portrayed by the alluring Monica Frost, superstar in the rising Ryan Addyman is Flounder, a favourite of York audiences Jonny Holbek picks up the mantle of Sebastian, the now renowned witch performer Pascha Turnbull will charm you as Ursula, King Triton by the inimitable stalwart of the York stages - Rory Mulvihill.

Join us for two weeks in February for lots of singing, dancing, and plenty of adventure as we bring this timeless Disney classic to life on the main stage where all tickets are £20 or less - everyone can experience live theatre!
