Deep in the ocean there once lived a mermaid with a voice of gold. She often dreamed of the world above the sea, and when she is finally old enough to explore this world, she saves a young prince from a drowning ship. She falls in love and wants to become human as well. The mermaid desperately asks a mean sea witch for help. The witch agrees to give her legs, but only when she gives up her beautiful voice. If the prince does not give his unconditional love, the enchantment will never again be broken. The Little Mermaid is a family musical with puppetry, based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen.
