14 May 2025
Alley Theatre, Strabane | 20th – 24th May 2025 | Tickets: £19
Encore Performing Arts Academy (Encore PAA) returns to the Alley Theatre, Strabane, with a spectacular new production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, running from 20th to 24th May. Following their acclaimed productions of Oliver!, The Sound of Music, and Nativity! The Musical, Encore is ready to enchant audiences once again with this timeless underwater tale.
Set in a magical kingdom beneath the sea, The Little Mermaid follows Ariel, a curious and spirited young mermaid who dreams of life in the human world above. When she falls in love with the dashing Prince Eric, Ariel makes a dangerous deal with the sea witch Ursula to become human—risking everything for the chance to follow her heart.
Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories and the classic Disney animated film, this hauntingly beautiful love story is brought to life with stunning costumes, a live orchestra, and a vibrant cast that rivals any professional production. Featuring unforgettable songs like “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl,” and “Part of Your World,” the show promises a magical night for the entire family.
"We are incredibly proud of the dedication and talent our cast has poured into this production," said Rebecca Thompson from Encore PAA. "The Little Mermaid is such a beloved story, and bringing it to life with the energy and heart of our young performers has been a joy. We can’t wait for audiences to experience the magic, the music, and the unforgettable journey we've created on stage."
With music by eight-time Academy Award-winner Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, and a book by Doug Wright, this delightful musical will transport audiences to an unforgettable world under the sea.
Don’t miss your chance to experience this enchanting musical adventure!
