Colchester Operatic Society are preparing to take audience members ‘under the sea’ with their upcoming production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, which will run at Colchester’s Mercury Theatre from 31 January – 9 February 2025.
The musical adventure tells the timeless tale of Ariel, a spirited young mermaid, who longs to be part of the human world – but transforming into a human will come at a price! Watch her adventure unfold as she makes a deal with the sea witch Ursula to become human for three days, so she can capture the heart of Prince Eric.
Featuring beloved songs Part of Your World, Kiss the Girl, and the Oscar-winning classic Under the Sea, this show is sure to make a splash!
