Andersen's little mermaid has a happy ending in musical adaptation
The English-language musical "The Little Mermaid" brings a magical underwater world to the Shanghai stage and also gives Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale a happy ending.
Presented by the American Children's Theater AZ Wonderland, the musical combines dance, music, and drama elements, while featuring relatively simple English lines and rhythmic dance to better involve young audiences.
In this adapted story, the Little Mermaid Ellabell is full of curiosity about the world beyond the ocean. By chance, she meets a handsome prince on land.
