The little mermaid

was always one of my favorite fairy tales. In its original version by Hans Christian Andersen, the little mermaid "is fascinated by the unknown, the forbidden, and is intent on broadening her horizons from the beginning. She wants, above all, to explore the world and discover things that are beyond what she already knows. The world above, for her, holds a greater range of possibilities to exercise her adventurous spirit." Sure, she is in love with the prince, but more than that she aspires to a superior world and an immortal soul. The ending is also quite different from Disney's version, as she refuses to slay the prince in order to save herself from becoming sea foam and ends up as a daughter of the air, a sort of spirit.
Anyway, I was so excited that the musical was coming that I told the boy that we had to go. I loved every part, the songs, the effects, the colors, the acting. Here are some pictures that I was able to snap...
