Guaranteed to make a splash, Wicked Productions heads to Eastbourne and Tunbridge Wells this Easter with their laugh-a-minute family musical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s, “The Little Mermaid“. A tidal wave of comedy, this show is sure to warm your cockles and win the hearts of your little sea urchins!
Join the fair Lenor, our Little Mermaid, as she sets out to find love and legs! With all the fabulous scenery, costumes, special effects and laughter you have come to expect from a Wicked Production, this year you are invited to head under the sea in the adventure of a young girl with a big dream!
Daughter of King Triton, the sea god, and one of three sisters, Lenor, longs to leave the depths of the sea bed and explore the world beyond the water. In a desperate bid to win the heart of the handsome Prince, Lenor makes a deadly pact with the infamous Sea Witch, Morgana, whose intentions are more than a little fishy. Joined by best friends Crab Stick and Crab Paste, will Lenor win the heart of her human love or will Morgana rule the waves?
Tom Swift returns as the hilarious Crab Stick with pantomime favourite Ant Payne as his side splitting sidekick Crab Paste. Also returning by popular demand are firm favourites Amanda Swift and Jimmy Burton-Iles to add to the comedy and mayhem.
Tom Swift, the show’s Producer, as well as being one of the lead actors, said,“I’m incredibly excited to be bringing our annual Easter production to the Royal Hippodrome, Eastbourne, and to the Assembly Hall Theatre, Tunbridge Wells, after last years hugely successful production of Rapunzel Rocks.
