Once On This Island Junior is a Caribbean adaptation of the popular Hans
Christian Andersen fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" featuring a poignant
story and catchy, Caribbean flavored score.

 

This is the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love
with Daniel, a young man from a wealthy family. When Daniel is returned to
his people, the gods who rule the island guide Ti Moune on a quest to test
the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred
and death.

 

Told in a presentational style reminiscent of story theatre, it is equally
effective regardless of its cast size and features minimal - though colorful
- sets and costumes that capture the imagination of the audience. Creative
dance or movement-driven staging is also part of the show's style, calling
upon performers to portray trees, wild animals and even a fierce rainstorm.

 

With its touching story and catchy pop and Caribbean flavored score by
songwriters of the film Anastasia and the Broadway smash Ragtime, Once On
This Island Junior is a multi-cultural feast for the heart, mind, and soul.
