Hooray for that, I say!
Hooray, also, for this world premiere of this ballet version! The Savannah Ballet Theatre has chosen to bring us the true, and adult, version of Hans Christian Andersen's story with the familiar title.
Yes, there is a mermaid, a young and naive waif who falls in love with a prince. She is so besot with him that she is willing to give up the life she knows in order to live in his world.
So far, you've already heard this tale before, right?
Did you hear the part where he is besot with a landlubber? What about the part where he rebuffs the mermaid's advances, apparently seeing her as only a child?
After all, she is just fifteen years old.
No? You say that isn't how the story goes?
Actually, that is exactly how the tale is told.
I absolutely loved it!
I am so blessed to usher at the Lucas!
