Once on This Island Jr.

Once On This Island Junior is a Caribbean adaptation of the popular Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" featuring a poignant story and catchy, Caribbean flavored score. This is the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a young man from a wealthy family. When Daniel is returned to his people, the 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. Told in a presentational style reminiscent of story theater, it is equally effective regardless of its cast size and features minimal - though colorful - sets and costumes that capture the imagination of the audience. Creative dance or movement-driven staging is also part of the show's style, calling upon performers to portray trees, wild animals and even a fierce rainstorm.
