“Disney’s The Little Mermaid”

September 20, 2016 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

The Little Mermaidmay sound like the perfect outing for young girls and their parents.  While that is certainly true, the opening night crowd at Palo Alto Players that included folks of all ages (including an impressive number of guys and gals in their teens and twenties) proves that this Disney classic is set to be a community-wide hit for everyone.
For my complete review of this outstanding production, please follow the link to my Talkin’ Broadway  review:  http://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/sanjose/sj59.html
Rating: 5 E
The Little Mermaid continues through October 2, 2015 as the Palo Alto Players season opener at the Lucie Stern Theatre, 1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto.  Tickets are available at www.paplayer.org or by calling 650-329-0891.
