Peoples Playhouse, under the direction of Joel Norman-Hade and Adam Nash, is staging The Little Mermaid in the July school holidays.

Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and Disney’s classic animated film version, The Little Mermaid is a compellingly beautiful love story for the ages.

Peoples Playhouse was inundated with an unprecedented number of talented performers auditioning for this very popular musical and had a hard job choosing the cast, which includes about 55 adults and children from across the Peninsula and beyond. All your favourite characters will be part of the production, including Ariel, Ursula, Prince Eric, Flounder, Sebastian, Scuttle and many, many more.

The sets and costumes will not disappoint. An array of sea creatures will be brought to life in a display of magic and colour.

Rehearsals began in February and there will be six fabulous shows from July 7-15 at Cranbourne Community Theatre featuring a full orchestra of extremely talented musicians.

Peoples Playhouse is an amateur theatre company that is committed to developing people’s theatre skills both onstage and backstage, giving them the opportunity to perform and learn the theatre craft.
