Solihull Theatre Group to Stage Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' for First Time
Something truly magical is set to make waves in Solihull this spring, as the local theatre group Solihull on Stage prepares to present the Solihull premiere of Disney's The Little Mermaid at The Core Theatre this April. This landmark production marks the very first time the beloved musical will be staged in Solihull, offering audiences a rare and exciting opportunity to experience the classic underwater Disney tale brought vividly to life right on their doorstep.
A Spectacular Underwater Adventure for All Ages
Audiences are warmly invited to dive beneath the surface and join Ariel, a spirited young mermaid with big dreams of life beyond the ocean, in a spectacular stage adventure designed for all ages. Packed with excitement, romance, and larger-than-life characters, the show whisks viewers into a dazzling underwater world. Follow Ariel as she falls for the brave Prince Eric, outwits the wicked sea witch Ursula, and discovers the true meaning of courage, love, and belonging.
Featuring show-stopping songs including Part of Your World and the unforgettable Under the Sea, this production promises to have audiences humming along long after the final curtain falls. With stunning costumes, high-energy choreography, and a cast bursting with talent, The Little Mermaid is set to be a must-see event this spring and a historic moment for theatre in Solihull.
Behind the Scenes: A Legacy of Creativity and Community
Behind the scenes, the Solihull on Stage cast and crew have been working tirelessly, rehearsing twice a week to bring every moment to life with energy and precision. Drawn from across the West Midlands, the company is made up of a vibrant mix of performers, united by a shared passion for theatre and a strong commitment to putting on a truly memorable show.
Formerly known as Solihull Operatic Society (SOS), the group has been delighting audiences since 1952 and remains a cornerstone of the local arts scene, staging a major production each year that brings local talent into the spotlight. As part of the Solihull Society of Arts, one of the area's longest-running arts organisations with over 80 years of history, they proudly carry forward a rich legacy of creativity and community spirit.
Performance Details and Accessibility
Performances will run from 28th April to 2nd May at The Core Theatre, with tickets priced at £23.
