'The Little Mermaid' Swims to Local Twin Cities Theater
A Disney classic has arrived in Chanhassen.
The Little Mermaid opened on Friday, February 28 and will run until August 30, 2014 at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres.
Here is brief description of the show from the theaters' website:
It's always interesting to see how well-known films — especially animated ones — are able to make the transition from the big screen to the theater stage.
I attended Xanadu — a re-imagining of the 1980 "cult classic" starring Olivia Newton John — at Chanhassen back in 2012. The show featured a good bit of roller-skating, funky 80's kitsch and plenty of audience involvement. I thought they did a great job using the limited space on stage creatively to provide a unique and entertaining show.
Just like Xanadu, I imagine The Little Mermaid will also be a lot of fun — for kids and adults alike.
Author's Note to Guys: Taking your gal to a show at the theater is worth the same amount of 'romantic karma' as approximately ten movies.
Ticket pricing and availability can be found on Chanhassen Dinner Theatres' website.
