“Once On This Island Jr.” is a highly original theatrical adaptation
of Hans Christian Anderson’s popular fairy tale, The Little Mermaid.  Through almost non-stop song and dance, this
full-hearted musical tells the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who rescues
and falls in love with Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other side of her
island.  When Daniel is returned to his
people, the fantastical gods who rule the island guide Ti Mounce on a quest
that will test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of
prejudice and hatred.  This enchanting tale
promises a spectacle of vivid storytelling and vibrant dance from a large cast
of “Storytellers” who take us on a mythical journey of tropical storms,
bickering gods and goddesses, and a courageous romance that proves that love
can withstand the storm, cross the Earth, and survive even in the face of
death.
