About The Little Mermaid pantomime

The Little Mermaid is a reimagined pantomime retelling of the classic tale with Glasgow wit and a musical heart, coming to The King’s theatre for the first time ever. Ariel, the bravest mermaid in all of Queen Mary's land, must fight-off the evil Sea Witch after she steals her voice in return for the ability to live amongst the humans, way above the ocean.

This aquatic adventure promises audiences an abundance of comedy, sensational song and dance numbers, fabulous costumes and stunning scenery.

Taking audiences on an underwater journey involving a magical sea chariot, high energy hijinks and audience participation (oh yes there is!) you have the perfect recipe to outwit the Sea Witch, see good triumph over evil and let love prevail.

The King’s Theatre pantomime has been produced by Crossroads Pantomimes, the world’s biggest pantomime producer, since 2017 with Elaine C Smith and Johnny Mac anchors in creating the festive magic.
