This highly original and theatrical Caribbean adaptation of the popular fairy tale "The Little Mermaid." In almost non-stop song and dance, the show 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 Moune on a quest to test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred and death. Creative movement is also part of the show's style, calling upon performers to portray trees, wild animals and even a fierce rainstorm. Its catchy, contemporary, and Caribbean-flavored score by the Tony® Award-winning songwriting team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty includes tender ballads and rousing celebratory numbers for an ensemble cast of strong singers. Once On This Island, Jr. features a large number of leading roles as well as strong ensemble characters.
