The Rhino Theatre Presents THE LITTLE MERMAID, 2/15-3/12
The Rhino Theatre presents a new adaptation of The Little Mermaid.
You'll love following the Little Mermaid, who in this brand-new version is a strong-willed but endearingly innocent, on her first journey to the Top of the Sea. There she meets the painfully shy but quietly funny Ollie, reluctantly training to be king and not exactly her idea of a storybook prince. Their ensuing friendship is the special and perceptive core of the play. Also on hand are her proud father, King Neptune; the Sea Urchin, his major-domo and the real power behind the throne; and her outspoken Granny. We mustn't overlook the marvelous Sea Witch, who is desperate to get her hands on the mermaid's most precious possession and has enlisted the help of a pair of turtles as henchmen, two wonderfully comic inventions. Creative and colorful staging coupled with the author's unique gift for wit, has put a contemporary spin on the Andersen original, removing theVictorian heaviness without reducing the story's charm. Both wise and funny in equal proportions, this new telling of The Little Mermaid will, indeed, appeal to all audiences.
Performances are Feb 15, 16, 22, 23, Mar 1, 2 at 12 and 4pm. Ticket prices are $23.50 for adults and $16 for children, includes tax. The Rhino Theatre is located at 247 Wanaque Ave. in Pompton Lakes NJ. The number to call for tickets is 973-248-9491. Visit their website at www.RhinoTheatre.com.
