The Little Mermaid

On a swelteringly hot summers night this young and very talented company plunged us to the depths of the deep blue sea to deliver what can only be described as an outstanding show. It was obvious from the start that they had followed directions with conviction, the simplicity of the set and props worked really well and whilst it exposed the cast it also allowed them to show off their acting skills which they all did with great aplomb. A well selected cast with some strong principals and excellent singing gave us all a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The show opened  with the prince (Alex Hogg) a good characterisation needed to be a little stronger with the vocals but well done, King Triton (Jordon Billings) very strong commanding role, as was Flounder (Eleanor Page). Sebastian (Neve Buckley) and Chef Louis (Brandon Stokes) had the audience in fits of laughter in which they portrayed these comical roles well done, (Ariel) Neeve Dilworth was absolutely outstanding in this role not only the way she carried it off but with the most amazing voice pulling the audience in when she sat on the edge of the stage and delivered her song Part of Your World excellent well done. Olivia Trapnell as Ursula gave the most amazingly strong performance commanding the stage with every enticing word of dialogue and song extremely well done. The parts of Flotsam (Olivia Ashdown) and Jetsam (Alisha Morris) were beguiling beyond belief in which they enticed and pulled Ariel in to the trap they moved with all the grace and poise of classically trained dancers, keeping the characterisation going even when side stage without interfering with the plot, wonderful well done, the entire company played their parts in delivering this show congratulations to you all.
