"We got the spirit! You got to hear it! Under the sea!"

The Little Mermaid

January 12-15, 2023 • Victoria Theatre The Little Mermaid In a kingdom under the sea, a mermaid’s fascination for life on the surface drives her to make a bargain that jeopardizes more than anyone can imagine. A lovably bizarre collection of friends from below and above join in a comedic musical adventure to save their worlds. A return to scale for Muse, well over 100 young people brought to life the story of both fantastical adventure and human understanding.
