| The Caribbean adaptation of the
popular Hans Christian Andersons “The Little Mermaid” springs
to life onstage in one of the most beloved fairy tales of all time.
Set in the Caribbean, this story revolves around Ti Moune, a peasant girl
who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a young man from a rich family.
However, when Daniel is returned to his people, the gods who rule the island
lead Ti Moune on a journey to test the power of her love against the forces
of prejudice, hatred, and death. Be prepared to fall in love with
this beautifully portrayed, culturally-rich story and music (“Forever
Yours”, “Pray”, “Waiting for Life”).
The musical is based on the novel “My Love, My Love” by Rosa Guy and features music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. The original 1990 Broadway show performed at the Booth Theatre and ran for 469 performances. The show was nominated for 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, score, book, direction and choreography, and won the Laurence Olivier Award for best new Musical. |
